Situated at 210 meters above sea level on a ridge overlooking the sea, and the plain and gulf of Gioia Tauro. The historic center of Nicotera develops through winding streets, underpasses and steep stairs with breathtaking panoramic views. The ancient neighborhoods of "Baglio" and "Giudecca" are particular. The water mills that develop along the stream create a connection line at the base of the hill, which can be admired from Marina di Nicotera or from the train station (Nicotera Scalo).

The beach of Nicotera Marina is one of the most beautiful on the Costa degli Dei, located in the gulf of the same name and composed mainly of fine white sand. The seabed of this stretch of sea is shallow and allows safe bathing even for the little ones.

On the Passo del Mercante, my father told me, that my grandfather met my grandmother. My grandfather was a young woodcutter who climbed the pass from Cittanova; and my grandmother was a shepherdess from Canalo Vecchio. They met by chance, and immediately argued: it seems that she didn't like the woodcutters, because they were too noisy and scared the cattle... But my grandfather, evidently made the difference, "maybe he was cute and she was very beautiful" and after the argument they made peace and fell in love.... Every time I'm in the area, I always go to the Pass to greet the memory of my grandfather 👴 and my grandmother👵 😊👋👋

at the exit of Solinga, homeland of the Nduja, shortly after the end of the climb, you find yourself skirting the ancient Roman aqueduct.

In Spilinga there is not only 'Nduja...
