BETWEEN FORTIFIED VILLAGES AND THE SEA

This offer include

Day 1:
You will retrace the route of the condottiero and businessman Gianciotto Malatesta, when he pretended to leave from the village of Gradara for Pesaro only to return unexpectedly along secondary roads and surprise his wife Francesca with his brother Paolo, of whom he was suspicious. Cycling inside the walls of the village will be fascinating and allow you to breathe in the Middle Ages. You will then continue towards the Baia Flaminia district of Pesaro, after which the famous “Panoramica” of Monte San Bartolo will be your “secondary” return route; but breathtaking views overlooking the sea of Marina Alta, Fiorenzuola di Focara and Casteldimezzo will make you forget your suspicions about Paolo and Francesca. Possibility of a refreshing bike-brunch on the way back; dinner if done in the afternoon.

Day 2:
You will travel to Rimini along the sea, passing through Cattolica, Misano Adriatico, Riccione and Miramare. Here you will be able to breathe in the air of the ancient founding Romans, being enchanted by works such as the imposing Arch of Augustus, Piazza Tre Martiri (ancient Roman Forum), the unfinished Cathedral derived from the Malatesta Temple, Piazza Cavour with the characteristic Fontana della Pigna and the incredibly well-preserved Tiberius Bridge, completed in 21 AD and surviving earthquakes, river wear and war events to this day. Before returning, you will pass through the San Giuliano district with the places commemorating the director Federico Fellini, where you can still breathe in the atmosphere that inspired his most famous films. Possibility of a refreshing bike-brunch once back at the hotel.

Day 3:
It will be dedicated to the small fortified villages on the southern border of the Province of Rimini, antagonists in terms of their position to the undisputed dominance of the Fortress of Gradara, and also in the strategic sights of the two eternally feuding families, the Malatesta and Montefeltro. Starting from the sea we head towards Saludecio, where we can admire its suggestive wall paintings; we pass through Mondaino, where we can taste its famous “formaggio di fossa” (trench cheese); then the village of Montegridolfo with its incomparable romantic atmosphere; a real balcony over the Conca Valley; and finally Tavullia, also with its walls, but now famous as the town of the multiple world motorbike champion Valentino Rossi. Possibility of a refreshing bike-brunch once back at the hotel.
