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.
