From Piazza Capasso starts via Pennino, the downhill road that leads to the famous Path of the Gods, you can venture along the beautiful and picturesque path that leads to Positano, or just enjoy and admire, the cave of the Biscotto and the rocky houses in the cave that perhaps began, in the Middle Ages, as cells for hermits close to the Church of St. Barbara.
