치타노바 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👵 😊👋👋

Just before Canolo Nuova there is a bar and a fountain; the fountain is below the street just in front the small lake

there is a closed gate

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

Beautiful panoramic spot where you can get some sun, take a break and maybe even camp out.

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.

Mandatory stop at the Zomaro crossroads stall. The lady's sandwiches are famous throughout Aspromonte, exceptional!
