An
unforgettable tour in the italian region where many people coming
from abroad for a visit have choosen to remain forever, enchanted
by its sweet hilly landscapes, by its art treasures, by the
refinement of its culture, its great wines and its delightful,
country cuisine. This route conducts you through extraordinary
valleys and territories like Val d’Elsa, Chianti (very famous
for its wines), Val d’Arno, Val d’Orcia, Crete senesi, via
Francigena (ancient route used for pilgrimages), among thick
vineyards and wonderful hills. Cycling along pleasant minor roads
in a continuous sweet ups and downs, you’ll pass through
Certaldo, birthplace of the novelist Boccaccio, S. Gimignano with
its one hundred towers, Volterra ancient and perfectly preserved
medieval village on the top of a hill surrounded by a memorable
landscape and, last but not least, Siena, with its marvellous
Piazza del Campo, a round space where since many centuries the
famous “Palio” takes place, its typical cathedral and the
narrow medieval raods where the noble palaces overlook.
