The first thing you’ll notice when you arrive in Catania is she sheer majesty of the mountainous region that covers your view of the sky; Mt Etna. To not even try to scale this natural phenomenon would be a tragedy. For me it was essential to take a closer look but not being a native or knowing the area and... More
