Camping in olive tree frost is very pleasant. They always have no much grass under and pretty flat. The farmers always cleared the ground of forests for preparing for harvest. It makes enough shade, so it's like natural camping ground.

オリーブ畑で野宿は気持ちが良い。オリーブ畑はだいたい下草が綺麗に刈り取られていて、収穫の為に平くならしてある。日陰も十分作ってくれるし、正に天然のキャンプ場だ。



I passed many such olive forests and visited a baroque town again.
そんな長閑な農村地帯の丘をいくつも越えて訪れてみたバロック建築町。



Modica, a small town 70km south from Siracusa was really beautiful.
シラクーザから南に70km程にあるModicaという町は素晴らしく綺麗な町だった。

A valley was almost completely covered by Brownish buildings.
谷の隅々までを埋め尽くさんばかりにびっしりと立ち並んだ茶色い壁と屋根。


As I walked into small streets, I felt people's life here. I felt to be brought back to mid ages.
細い路地や至る所にある階段を歩きながら人々の生活音や匂いを感じると、中世にいるような感覚になる。










People make own tomato sauce on the roof top.屋根の上でトマトソースを作っている家もいくつかあった


The old center of this town was still center. The local's life and old atmosphere had been nicely mixed. I couldn't believe such an amazing town was not on Japanese guide book.
この町の旧市街は未だに中心にあって、地元の生活と古い街並みが混ざり合ってすごく良い雰囲気だった。ここが何故地球の歩き方に載ってなかったのか不思議で仕方ない。


At 15km from Modica, the town, Ragusa had really nice old center as well. They had also many old buildings on a hill. A church with blue top was nice accent.
この町から15キロ離れた場所にあるラクーザという町の旧市街もなかなかなもんだった。小さな丘にビッシリと張り付いた旧市街。てっぺんが青い教会が灰色の市街地に良く映えて見える。







Ragusa had a new center so the old center was separated from it. The old center was more like for tourists but was still fascinating to me.
こちらは新市街と旧市街は別で、旧市街は観光メインな雰囲気ではあった。ただ、それでもかなり綺麗な街並みであった事に間違いはない。
