노바라 디 시칠리아 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

An interesting gateway along the ancient Castroreale-Mandanici cattle track where it overlaps with the Peloritani mountain range. The annual pilgrimages to the Sanctuary of Tindari, which are made in a variety of ways (on foot, by bike, on horseback), all pass through this gateway. Over the years, devout believers have erected votive icons, each representing their Ionian hometown, making the whole experience unique and a delight to see.

The current Basilica Sanctuary was built recently (1957-1979), but the history surrounding the cult is much older, dating back to the late eighth and early ninth centuries. A ship coming from the East, loaded with goods, including a statue of the Virgin Mary that had escaped iconoclastic persecution, was forced to dock by a violent storm. The sailors were forced to disembark, but the ship remained motionless. So the occupants decided to lighten the load, leaving the chest containing the statue of the Madonna Bruna on shore, among other items. The ship set sail again and continued its journey.

Portorož

A work of art made of gold and colors. But I especially like the view. There are many souvenir shops, bars and a restaurant here.

Marchesana seafront

Very suggestive for its dimensions and for the balance that keeps it in a perfect vertical position

The pedaled path passes right under the wind turbines surrounded by nature and with enchanting views.

These altars are dedicated to the Madonna of Tindari, to whom a beautiful sanctuary is also dedicated which is located precisely in the Sicilian city of Tindari. The sanctuary is also known as the sanctuary of the Black Madonna, as it houses a statue of the Virgin carved in dark cedar wood.
