Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου στη Σικελία

The current Basilica Sanctuary was built recently (1957-1979), but the history surrounding the cult is much older, dating back to the late eighth and early ninth centuries. A ship coming from the East, loaded with goods, including a statue of the Virgin Mary that had escaped iconoclastic persecution, was forced to dock by a violent storm. The sailors were forced to disembark, but the ship remained motionless. So the occupants decided to lighten the load, leaving the chest containing the statue of the Madonna Bruna on shore, among other items. The ship set sail again and continued its journey.

Even in bad weather or under dark clouds, the trip up is worthwhile. The cable car takes you up to 1,900 meters. By the time we reached the top, the clouds had almost disappeared due to the wind.

This is really a really beautiful spot!!

Portorož

Famous for the Castle that seems to protect the Alcantara Valley.

Now much cleaner and more well-kept

A work of art made of gold and colors. But I especially like the view. There are many souvenir shops, bars and a restaurant here.

Very cold water all year round. Very busy in summer. After rain in winter, the gorge is partially closed due to the risk of floods.
