A wonderful excursion to Murgecchia along the large tuff quarries opened in 1700, starting from Cava Paradiso which today houses an open-air museum of contemporary art sculptures. From there continue to the Sanctuary of the Palomba, skirting a very deep and abandoned quarry before reaching the sanctuary from where a path
starts crossing the typical garrigue of the Murgia.
