Valley of the Dolls
... All that remained of the original roadway was approximately a 3-foot wide patch adjacent to the uphill curb. Just wide enough for a motorcycle to get through. We, of course, rode through. Three of us two up and John, the single rider. Piece of cake. The upside is that there was no traffic the entire length of the road.

It was the Festival of San Calogero, the "Black Saint" as we found out later on. We walked up a huge hill to finally get to our accommodation which was a B&B.
