갈라트로 최고의 사이클링 경로

Beautiful church, right in the middle of town. Like most churches in Italy, it's always open.

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👵 😊👋👋

beautiful cycle touring route

Cittanova, located on the slopes of Aspromonte in Calabria, boasts rich churches, nineteenth-century buildings, and a vast public park. Dominating the Gioia Tauro Plain, Cittanova is characterized by its varied altitude, integrating a mosaic of mountain and flat landscapes into its natural beauty.

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

From this intersection it is possible to divert towards Galatro if you follow the cycle path.

Artificial reservoir with a particular and curious siphon for overflow.

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