カーノロ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👵 😊👋👋

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

The Castle of Gerace, dating back to the 7th century AD, was devastated by the Byzantines in the 10th century. Rebuilt and fortified by the Normans in 1050, it suffered damage from earthquakes over the centuries. What remains is a tower, some walls, and traces of ancient structures such as a Byzantine oratory, drawbridge and armory.

Portigliola, a small Calabrian town, preserves the remains of ancient Locri Epizephiri, including "Centocamere". Precious Locrian finds were exported. Notable monuments include Churches, Greco-Roman Theater and historic towers.

From this intersection it is possible to divert towards Galatro if you follow the cycle path.

Both the new part and the old part are beautiful. They look like countries from different continents. Highly recommended stop.

Even from afar they amaze with their massive presence.

A sight to behold, the great resemblance to the Dolomites is due to the same geological formation.
