테리치올라 최고의 라이딩 경로

일요일 정오에는 교통 체증이 있었습니다. 절벽 해안의 전망은 이미 부분적으로 멋집니다

투어를 중단해야 했습니다. 네 마리의 크고, 풀려 다니며, 으르렁거리고 짖는 목양견들이 우리를 쫓아냈고 몇백 미터 동안이나 따라왔습니다. 주변에는 주인이 보이지 않았습니다.

Panoramic view certainly from below the tower of the same name.

Interesting fact: It was from here that both Giovanni da Verrazzano and Amerigo Vespucci set sail in the 16th century, crossing the Atlantic to reach the new continent. This was also the port where the fleet of the Knights of Santo Stefano, the religious order of chivalry founded by Cosimo de' Medici to counter the raids of the Barbary pirates who plagued the Mediterranean, was moored. Here, in a lavish ceremony, Maria de' Medici embarked to marry Henry IV, King of France. Galileo also came here to test how the telescope he had perfected could be used aboard a ship in rough seas, but an exceptional calm thwarted his attempt.

Going up towards Terricciola along the road you will find a fairly obvious frame where you can take a framed photo 😉

Fascinating coastal tower located on the beautiful western coast of Sardinia. Built in the 16th century, this watchtower offers breathtaking panoramic views of the crystal clear sea and surrounding cliffs. The site is ideal for history and nature lovers, with an area perfect for hiking and photography. The tower represents a historical landmark and a corner of tranquility, immersed in the natural landscape of Sardinia.

Beautiful view of the beach!

The road from the base (in Chioma, near the junction with the Aurelia at 20 m above sea level) reaches the town of Nibbiaia (273 m above sea level) in 5.5 km with about 250 m of altitude difference. Except for a short slight slope before reaching Aia della Vecchia, the climb is continuous: the gradient from 4-6% up to the Il Vaiolo farm reaches a maximum of 10-11% up to Poggione (the hardest part); after Aia della Vecchia it remains constant at around 5-6%. After Nibbiaia, Via del Vaiolo continues in the direction of Castelnuovo della Misericordia with a series of ups and downs. The road is sufficiently wide and winds mainly through greenery, resulting in a pleasant shade and panoramic view; in the summer months, however, the heat accentuated by the effort makes you sweat a lot. It is essential to have at least one full water bottle. In the small square of Nibbiaia there is a bar and on the opposite side a fountain; another fountain is located on via Sgarallino (in the direction of Gabbro) a few hundred meters away. The descent, steep and full of curves, even challenging, is fun and allows high speeds, but requires perfectly efficient brakes, caution and attention, despite the moderate traffic.
