幹線道路の静かな代替ルート

Capo Murro di Porco Lighthouse (Faro di Capo Murro di Porco) on the Maddalena Peninsula near Syracuse, Sicily. Here are three interesting facts about it: Strategic Location: The lighthouse marks one of the southeasternmost points of Sicily. It is an important navigational aid in the Ionian Sea and guards the entrance to the Gulf of Syracuse. Historical Decay and Charm: As you can clearly see in the picture, the original keeper's house is in a state of severe disrepair. This "ruin aesthetic" within the Plemmirio Marine Protected Area makes the site a popular destination for photographers and hikers. Revitalization Plans: In recent years, efforts have been made to restore such historic lighthouses as part of the Italian project "Valore Paese Fari" (Value of Lighthouses as a Country). The aim is to transform them into exclusive accommodations or cultural centers in order to preserve the architectural heritage without compromising their maritime purpose.

An incredible climb winding through orange groves, with "cycling" graffiti painted on the ground. The climb is narrow, paved with some cracks, and can be done even with a road bike with low gears. Gradients between 8 and 12%.

Along the coastal road, you can admire both the beaches of Catania and Mount Etna. At 3,403 meters high, the volcano is particularly spectacular when the summit craters are covered in snow.

At this point on the road, a staircase leads to the wonderful Fontane Bianche beach. Lock up your bike and enjoy a dip in the turquoise waters.

Nothing special, a ruin

friendly staff and excellent pastry shop

By now, riding this road is a pleasure, it was recently paved! So you pedal in total silence, you don't see a car go by, in this total silence you only hear the scraping of the bike chain!! It's worth trying!!
