The Ragusa countryside, designed with the limestone of the characteristic dry stone walls and punctuated by the typical rural architecture of the Iblean farms, moves among the centuries-old carob trees, olive trees, vineyards and natural harsh pastures, but rich in forage essences where they graze freely the cows of the Modicana breed.
