マローパティのおすすめツーリングルート

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👵 😊👋👋

Clock tower historical monument of this town

Cittanova, located on the slopes of Aspromonte in Calabria, boasts rich churches, nineteenth-century buildings, and a vast public park. Dominating the Gioia Tauro Plain, Cittanova is characterized by its varied altitude, integrating a mosaic of mountain and flat landscapes into its natural beauty.

Mandatory stop at the stall, for a sandwich, a glass of wine, a dessert or a coffee. The owner is very nice.

Mandatory stop at the Zomaro crossroads stall. The lady's sandwiches are famous throughout Aspromonte, exceptional!

A very nice town. There is a small thermal pool where you can take a hot bath

A cool place to take a break

The whole village is worth a visit and the climb to the castle offers an exceptional view but only after having enjoyed the very fresh water that flows from the fountains of the village and above all from the "beautiful" fountain
