MACCALUBE RESERVE
Just outside Aragona you find an exceptional example of sedimentary volcanism that is the expelling, extruding, or breaking through of overlying formations by a mixture of sediment, water, and gas, driven by the gas under pressure.
The landscape and the atmosphere of the site makes you feel like if you were on the Moon.
The name comes from an Arabic word maq-lub which means upside down. Now and then the land of Maccaube site goes upside down and that has given birth to a legend according to which once on the same spot there used to be a town.
Even today in Middle East (Jordan, Syria) this word is used to call a Bedouin dish.
