파르코 나치오날레 델아프로몬테 최고의 사이클링 경로

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👵 😊👋👋

Ciminà, located in the metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria, is a village with Greek-Byzantine origins. Its name may derive from the Greek "kyminà", referring to cumin, a plant used for food preservation and to produce a liqueur. Founded in 1453 by Christian Greeks and Albanians who fled Constantinople, the village offered protection thanks to its impervious position. It had several feudal lords, including the Marullo and Carafa families, and became autonomous in 1806.

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.
