미네르비노 디 레체 최고의 라이딩 경로

A wonderful hike along the sea. The view is breathtaking. Highly recommended. Ideal in the early morning hours when it's not so warm in summer.

Romantic, rocky bay. Two bars, sometimes with loud music, parking.

Great spot for a break: the owner is a cyclist himself and always happy to see others

beautiful single track up to torre minervino

On the road from Otranto to Santa Cesarea, this panoramic point allows you to observe the Salento coast in all its beauty. You are in one of the most touristic and wild areas of Puglia: the Santa Cesarea spa is a real must for those visiting these areas for the first time.

A hamlet of the municipality of Tricase, in the Lecce area, Tricase Porto is located in Lower Salento and has about 250 inhabitants. Here the coast, low and rocky, is dotted with caves: in one of these there is a port dating back to the 15th century, very suggestive.

Otranto is one of the most famous and characteristic towns in the province of Lecce. It has almost 6,000 inhabitants and is the easternmost town in Italy. Various peoples and cultures have succeeded one another here (Messapians, Romans, Byzantines, Aragonese) and the town still develops around the imposing castle and the Norman cathedral.

The climb begins in the heart of the city and climbs steeply, but never exceeding 10%. Once you leave the town, the landscape becomes very beautiful. Now that I've ridden it several times, I've noticed that there are sections with gradients exceeding 10%, especially in the second section after crossing the main road, seen from Santa Cesarea Terme.
