Overview

The tour goes on to discover old pathways towards the rural church of Spirito Santo, this thousand-years-old church in a grotto has been in use since the IXth century and it houses some medieval frescoes. The olive trees with their twisted trunks and the fortified farmouses (masserie) are the expression of the fascinating and glamorous country life.

The tour ends with a relaxing bike ride and a tasting of artisanal ice-cream (sorbetto) away from urban traffic.

Notes: the itineary includes the stop related to the attractions we are going to visit. The remaining part will be a pleasent ride.
