A fascinating journey, between history and nature

The Church of San Leo, in Africo Vecchio, is a jewel of Byzantine origin. Distinguished by its simple architecture and a marble statue from 1635, it was restored after the flood of '51 and has become a pilgrimage destination since 1972.

It is a fascinating place, located in the heart of the Aspromonte mountains, and is a must for anyone traveling to Africo Vecchio.

Following the Sentiero dell'English you can reach Mount Grosso, and enjoy the amazing panoramic view of the Amendolea river and the surrounding mountains.

Bova is a picturesque municipality, recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and also known as the capital of Greek culture of Calabria. Perched on the eastern slopes of Aspromonte, it offers breathtaking views and fascinating monuments, such as the Co-Cathedral of the Madonna dell'Isodia, a jewel of Norman art.

This suggestive stretch of the Sentiero dell'English passes through the pine forest and reaches the Montegrosso refuge.

Gallicianò, a small village in Calabria located in the municipality of Condofuri, is a hidden jewel within the Aspromonte National Park.

Rocca del Drago called in dialect "Rokka du Traku" for its resemblance to a three-eyed dragon. It would seem that these were created by human hand, perhaps in the Neolithic age. According to some, it is simply a bizarre work of nature. Legend has it that a blind dragon lived under the rock and fed on the milk contained in rocky compartments, hence the name milk boilers. Another legend has it that the dragon guarded a treasure right there that would have been discovered by anyone who had offered a kid, a completely black cat and a child as a sacrifice.
