A natural balcony above Taormina, Castelmola is the vertigo of vision: entering its field of vision, in a riot of prickly pears, the majestic Etna with the towns clinging to its slopes, the Ionian coast, the Gulf of Giardini-Naxos, the Capo di Sant'Alessio, the Strait of Messina and the Calabrian coasts. One would no longer want to come down from this sunny belvedere: a watchful eye on the sea, one's back to the mountain, one's heart inside a ruined castle. Beyond the ancient shadow of the almond trees, the entrance to the village, perched on top of infinite hairpin bends. With its narrow streets that intersect and meet in the main square, it immediately reveals the medieval settlement. The remaining time on the Tour will be used for travel to and from the attractions.
