Gole delle’alacantara
With Dizzy back in our possession we made our way to this unique Gorge. The Gorge and excellent rock formations were caused by lava flows many thousands of years previous. Eager to keep our boys walking legs in order we were disappointed that all the walking routes were closed. For a fee of €3 each we could descend the steps to the Gorge itself and then use the lift to come back up. It took a mere 10 minutes to go down and after we viewed the rock arrangements we spied a walkway at the top and decided to ascend the second set of steps rather then use the lift. At reaching the top we saw there were padlocked gates across the walkway. We also noticed the entrance to these set of steps was the “communale” entrance and therefore, free of charge, in the immortal words of Homer and my eldest son “Doh!”
