After an exciting first day of discovery and relaxation in Taormina, our Spanish guests, Javier and María Pilar, are ready for a new adventure. Their enthusiasm for Sicily is contagious, and their curiosity drives them to ask for recommendations on new places to explore.
During breakfast, as they admire the breathtaking view of Mount Etna, Javier and María Pilar share their desire to get closer to the volcano. However, they quickly realize they are not adequately equipped to face the cold temperatures and heavy snow covering the summit.
"We didn’t expect Etna to be so snowy! It would be amazing to see it up close, but we’re not ready for the cold," says María Pilar, gazing at the majestic volcano on the horizon.
This is where our experience comes into play. We suggest making a stop at the Outlet Village in Agira, along the highway to Enna, to buy the necessary clothing. After shopping, we propose visiting Enna, one of the highest and most charming cities in Italy, for a perfect blend of shopping and cultural discovery.
With no worries about planning or logistics, Javier and María Pilar relax in our comfortable vehicle, letting us take care of everything. Another stress-free travel day, filled with comfort, flexibility, and the beauty of discovering Sicily at their own pace.
Shopping at the Outlet Village: Fashion and Mountain Gear
The drive along the highway towards Enna goes by quickly, filled with lively conversation and laughter. María Pilar and Javier tell us how they have read all of our blog articles and how they are eager to have an authentic Sicilian experience.
Arriving at the Outlet Village, they are pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of high-end fashion brands and great deals available.
"We didn’t expect such a well-organized place! It’s perfect for buying everything we need for the mountain—and maybe even some gifts," says Javier.
While María Pilar shops for technical winter clothing and accessories for the snow, Javier indulges in a few purchases at Italian designer boutiques. Meanwhile, we wait for them comfortably in our vehicle, ready to leave as soon as they are satisfied with their shopping.

Enna: A Journey Through History in the Heart of Sicily
Leaving the Outlet Village, we head toward Enna, the highest provincial capital in Italy, situated at 930 meters above sea level. The winding road leading to the city offers breathtaking views of the Sicilian countryside, with rolling green hills, ancient farmhouses, and landscapes that seem frozen in time.
Upon arriving in Enna’s historic center, María Pilar and Javier are immediately enchanted by the panorama: the city overlooks a vast stretch of mountains and valleys, dominating the Sicilian hinterland.
"It looks like a castle in the sky!" exclaims María Pilar, admiring the city's majestic setting.
Exploring the Castle of Lombardy
Our first stop is the Castle of Lombardy, one of the most impressive medieval fortresses in Sicily. This Norman-era castle, with its massive walls and towering structures, offers a breathtaking view of the entire island.
As we accompany our guests inside, we share the history of the castle, once a royal residence and a strategic military defense post.
"This view is incredible! You can see all the way to Etna!" exclaims Javier, climbing to the highest tower.
Here, we capture some memorable photos, with the snow-capped peak of Etna providing a spectacular backdrop.
Enna’s Cathedral: A Baroque Masterpiece
We continue our walk through the historic center, heading towards Enna’s Cathedral, a stunning Baroque masterpiece featuring a richly decorated interior with golden embellishments and frescoes.
As soon as they step inside, María Pilar is left speechless: "¡Es maravilloso! ¡Qué impresionante es este lugar!"
Together, we admire the golden stuccoes, the intricately carved wooden ceiling, and the main altar, pausing to take in the artistic details that make this cathedral truly unique.
A Gastronomic Break: Authentic Flavors of Enna’s Cuisine
After our cultural visit, we suggest stopping for lunch in a traditional Enna trattoria, where Javier and María Pilar can taste the real flavors of inland Sicily.
Our menu includes:
🍽 Rustic appetizer with local cheeses, olives, and caponata.
🍆 Pasta 'Ncasciata, a Sicilian specialty with eggplant, meat, and caciocavallo cheese.
🌭 Enna sausage, famous for its unique blend of spices.
🍮 Sicilian cannolo, because no trip to Sicily is complete without it!
While enjoying these local delicacies, María Pilar and Javier express their gratitude for guiding them on a day outside the usual tourist routes.
"If it weren’t for you, we would never have discovered this fascinating city," they say, delighted.
Returning to Taormina: A Stress-Free Journey
After lunch and a leisurely stroll through Enna’s charming streets, we begin our journey back to Taormina. On board, Javier and María Pilar relax, enjoying the golden hues of the sunset over the rolling hills.
"Traveling with you was the best way to explore Sicily. No stress, no exhaustion, just pure pleasure," comments Javier.
And this is exactly what we aim to offer with our private driver service: an exclusive, comfortable, and personalized experience where every detail is taken care of, ensuring maximum relaxation for our guests.
We drop them off at the entrance of their hotel in Taormina, with the promise of organizing another adventure in the coming days. María Pilar and Javier wave goodbye with warm smiles:
"Nos vemos pronto, amigos! ¡Gracias por este día inolvidable!"
