In September, when the summer crowds were dying down but the warm weather was still blissfully in swing, we hopped on our motorbike and whizzed from Noto in the southeast of Sicily all the way over to the other side of the island.

The beating heart of the Val di Noto is–by no surprise–Noto. The Baroque city, the epicentre of the valley, emerges from the scorched landscape of southern Sicily like a mirage. The contours of its ramparts reflect the light of the brilliant sun and refracts it off the honey-hued stone typical of the area. This is how I remember my first visit to N...
