After passing the narrow gorges of Fara San Martino the path widens and opens onto the Santo Spirito Valley. Along the route there are wooden tables and frozen water fountains. Legend has it that Fra Martino opened the mountain with his elbows to create an opening and allow the local inhabitants to reach the grassy clearings at the top of the mountain. Walking in these places you perfectly understand the origin of the legend. Magical places!
