very nice climb from cittanova to passo mercante in aspromonte np, not steep, good road quality, very nice views

Well and an abandoned village, which today serves as a barbecue area and overnight accommodation.

.

Situated at 210 meters above sea level on a ridge overlooking the sea, and the plain and gulf of Gioia Tauro. The historic center of Nicotera develops through winding streets, underpasses and steep stairs with breathtaking panoramic views. The ancient neighborhoods of "Baglio" and "Giudecca" are particular. The water mills that develop along the stream create a connection line at the base of the hill, which can be admired from Marina di Nicotera or from the train station (Nicotera Scalo).

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👵 😊👋👋

Discovered during a bikepacking trip along the Ciclovia dei Parchi. Fra Damiano had us pitch our tents in the village meadow and above all invited us to dinner with him. It was a wonderful experience

Villaggio Limina - there is water but above all there is Fra Damiano who will be happy to offer you food and hospitality

Great place to stay; Fra Damiano, who lives here alone, will be happy to give food and a place to stay
