it all depends on when you go there ... in spring and fall, when sea is little colder and wind blows you can have them :)

Re: just a small note
You know - we had such fierce winds sometimes that we couldn't stand up straight - still everything was very hazy. I suspect that it has more to do with moisture from the sea. Still - we got up at 7 in the morning and there they already were burning weed - without wind the smoke lingered just about everywhere.

Not quite sureI'm done with it already. But I guess as the single mountain pages will come up I'll have to write some additions here and there...

Wonderful overview!I enjoyed reading it, because so far I knew nothing about Sicily mountains - except Etna. Looking forwards to see the hikes you did.

Re: Strange...Was it a bad vote? Bad votes automatically vanish from my pages - they feel so ashamed, hehe.
