Here is another set of coordinates I took just in case the first set was off: N37 07.862 E015 01.143
The terrain isn't all that difficult but finding it is a little hard. The signs are pretty well posted for Pantalica but they don't tell you that the road is a dead end.
The cache is in an area called Pantalica. It's a lot of buildings or tombs that are cut out of the cliffs. I think they were houses, but I couldn't say for sure. You'll have to park on the side of the road to get the trail I used for this one. There are other places to stop later on down the road but they are for other sites. The first thing you'll see is a scenic overlook. At this point you'll have to take a left and follow the trail. At some point you'll go past four rough arches formed from the cliff. After another little ways the trail goes around a corner building and goes upwards a bit. The main path will cut back to the right but you need to keep going up on a smaller path. The cache is in one of the upper rooms. You have to use a lower room to get to it. I hope the pictures are helpful. You'll probably need the hint too.
