몬테이아시 최고의 사이클링 경로

A small town that can be reached in less than an hour; excellent for a stopover during a journey.

Very panoramic, unfortunately we were there in the rain ☔️

This hydroelectric plant was once covered in tall pine trees (and still is today) to prevent it from being bombed during World War II. The area is known as "abbascj alla Centrel," and in the past, many people bathed in the canals built near the plant and running through the countryside; the water was fresh, clear, and drinkable. Unfortunately, the canals are poorly maintained, but this place continues to fascinate tourists and all those who come to visit, upon request, especially in May, if they wish to enter the plant. The Apulian Aqueduct Cycle Route has been open for several years next to the hydroelectric plant. This cycle route allows many bike and nature lovers to pedal, walk, and observe the many wonderful places of the Murgia, the Itria Valley, and Salento.

Locorotondo is a characteristic Apulian village located in the Itria Valley, with a circular layout, known for its “cummerse”, typical houses with sloping roofs.

A true miracle in the land of Puglia

Very nice gravel strip on the trace of an old aqueduct. Easy to walk and highly recommended!

There are many ceramics workshops in the immediate vicinity. Despite the similarity in the motifs, the workshops usually have their own unique style. Today—off-season—the neighborhood was very quiet, and some shopkeepers took the time to explain some of the special features to us. It's worth stopping by the shops; you'll probably find something beautiful to take home.
