Highlights: Montjuic Olympic Stadium and Swimming Pool - Camp Nou Stadium and Museum
Sport have always been very important in Barcelona, even in Roman times. Much later, at the beginning of the 20th Century, football became the major sport in Barcelona. Barça was its main team, and it became a symbol, the national team of Catalonia. That’s why we built el Camp Nou, the biggest Football Stadium in Europe.
But the most important transformation of the city took place during the 80’ and 90’ with the 1992 Olympics: new beaches and harbours, awesome buildings, great opportunities. The main Olympic sites were the Ring at Montjuïc, and the Vila Olimpica and its harbour, both reachable with our e-bikes.
Along our tour we will see all these famous places, giving you a fully understanding of the recent history of Barcelona, that made it so famous all over.

THE UPPER SABINA
The eleventh stage of the GTL changes the landscape once again: we move away from the Apennines for the lower Sabine Mountains, heading west. But the lower altitudes should not deceive, since the slopes of these hills often prove to be more challenging and hard than the mountains proper, with their sudden and violent ups and downs. From Rieti we leave for the beautiful village of Contigliano, on little-frequented and lonely roads among olive trees and vineyards. We are a few steps from Greccio, a medieval town famous for its nativity scenes, certainly worthy of a detour. Hairpin bends, climbs and descents follow one another, giving villages resting on the "hillocks", the heights chosen for settlements since ancient times: Cottanello, Casperia, Cantalupo in Sabina. Only the end of the stage and the arrival in the Tiber valley offers a bit of descent and respite, up to the railway station of Stimigliano, the end of the stage – and a public velodrome, that of Forano.

The tour continues, leaving the hill behind, entering the center through the famous Piazza Vittorio Veneto (the largest of its kind) with uniform architectures that continue along the entire Via Po until reaching Piazza Castello (note the uninterrupted right portico along the entire the street because it was reserved for the promenade of kings and nobles).
In the center of Piazza Castello you can admire the medieval castle embellished with the eighteenth-century facade of the Juvarra, the modern Teatro Regio (opera house) and the church of San Lorenzo. A gate with the opening guarded by the bronze statues of the mythological Castor and Pollux on horseback (Pollux distinguishable by the star on the forehead that certifies his divine nature) separates Piazza Castello from the courtyard of the Royal Palace, where it is located the Royal Armory.

E-bike Tour
The e-bike tour is ideal for a full-day excursion, discovering Roero and its wooded landscapes. The e-bike tour is not technical in nature, making it suitable for anyone who wants to spend a day immersed in wild nature while discovering typical Piedmontese products and folklore, searching for traces of the Masche.
The Masche
This e-bike route is designed to evoke ancient atmospheres and visit places where you can relive the mysterious atmospheres of ancient legends of Masche, the Piedmontese witches. The Masche are indeed witches but they aren't always malevolent or evil entities. Piedmontese Masche are mischievous, capricious - be careful not to make them angry, as they become vindictive. Unlike regular witches, Masche can also be good; they are healers, capable of curing people and animals, and can even save lives in danger.
Even today, sayings and expressions about them are still used, the most famous being "There are Masche around," typically used when something disappears, objects fall inexplicably, or strange noises are heard in the attic or between the beams and roofs of ancient houses. With an adventurous spirit, hop on the electric bike in search of the Masche!
Departure from Bra Train Station
The bike itinerary ideally starts from Bra; arriving at Bra railway station is convenient, where you can pick up your pre-booked e-bike and start your day tour. Bra is the birthplace of Slow Food and is famous for its cheese. The Cheese festival brings together enthusiasts and producers from around the world. Year-round, you can taste the famous "Bra Duro" and "Bra Tenero" cheeses accompanied by Bra sausage, another culinary excellence of the city. During the warm season, you can stop at a deli to buy Bra cheese and sausage, prepare a good sandwich, and enjoy a break from cycling by stopping along the way for a picnic.
Pocapaglia and the Masca Micillina
On the e-bike, you reach Pocapaglia, home of Masca Micillina, one of the most famous, if not the most famous, Masca of Piedmont. Pocapaglia is the heart of Roero, its countryside dominated by the "Rocche," harsh hills of sand and clay that, together with the immense wooded lands, make the panorama unique, creating a fantasy fairy-tale landscape. Could these natural elements have created the right atmosphere for the legend? If you've visited the Barbaresco Langa, you've surely seen the Rocche of the Seven Brothers and Lady of Langa, also "Rocche" but completely different. The trail followed by e-bike continues through woods and cultivated fields; among rustling leaves and singing wind, you might (perhaps) hear the voice of Masca Micillina.
Masca Micillina (Michelina) was born in Barolo and married a farmer from Pocapaglia. The poor woman had a frightening appearance: she was small, with a wrinkled face, almost bald, even toothless, and when she walked, she had a slow and crippled gait - in short, the classic witch appearance.
It wasn't her appearance that earned her the "title of Masca," but rather a series of discomforts and strange events she caused to the village inhabitants. One day a young man crossed her path, fell, and while running away in fear, noticed he had one foot facing forward and one backward; another time, Micillina touched a girl's back, and the next day she started developing a hump, and there were more such incidents...
To these strange events was added Micillina's ability to avoid being found by anyone, not even her husband, who spread the word that he had married a Masca.
Micillina was condemned to burn at the stake, and the sad sentence was carried out in Pocapaglia on the hill now called Bric d'la Masca, where some dark spots can still be seen today (many believe it's blood, but it's actually oxidized iron). This is an excellent panoramic point to stop and admire the landscape, listen to the sound of the wind, and who knows, maybe hear Micillina's voice!
Sommariva Perno
Continuing pedaling on the e-bike, you encounter woods and steep cliffs near the Rocche, alternating with fields and cultivated areas; surely the harsh and wild landscape gave the right popular inspiration to the birth of Masche legends. The landscape changes completely near Sommariva Perno, where the countryside is populated with vineyards and numerous orchards, and how can we not mention the famous and sweet strawberries of Sommariva Perno. During strawberry season, a stop at local producers for a delicious snack is highly recommended. The bike ride continues towards the villages of Baldissero d'Alba, Monteu Roero, and Ceresole d'Alba.
Sommariva Del Bosco
The final stop of the self-guided e-bike tour is Sommariva del Bosco or Sommariva Bosco, the border gate of Roero. Sommariva Bosco hosts the important fair "Amè l'Amel" (Love Honey), during which you can find local and non-local producers specialized in beekeeping offering the chance to taste many different kinds of honey. If the bike ride doesn't coincide with the fair, it's possible and recommended to stop at local producers and taste the excellent honey of Sommariva Del Bosco directly on-site. On the bike, you return to Bra, the beginning and end of the electric bike tour.

BRACCIANO / ANGUILLARA
A spectacular stage all around Lake Bracciano, to discover its treasures scattered around the villages that overlook it, almost entirely on roads without traffic, bridleways and dirt paths but easy to follow. From Bracciano we exit northwards following the railway line along dirt roads or dirt roads, in the thick of the woods that hide the panorama of the lake and then make it appear suddenly from time to time: we thus arrive in Manziana, a beautiful village near the centuries-old forest of the same name, and then via a bridleway in the countryside to the Antica Monterano, ghost town that knew various eras, each of which has left a mark of its passage: from the Etruscan tombs to the Roman walls, passing through the papal aqueduct and a couple of sculptures by Bernini and the evocative ruins of the seventeenth-century Church of San Bonaventura, which remained so since the town was abandoned following the Napoleonic invasion. Still passing through dirt roads and dirt roads we arrive in Oriolo Romano, another charming village on the northern side of the lake, and from here we take the cycle path of the woods, which crosses the chestnut groves of Calandrina and then descends to Trevignano Romano, right on the shores of Bracciano. To avoid the busy lakeside promenade up to Anguillara, we use a suggestive detour always traced on dirt roads, the cycle path of the lakes, which cuts the ridge between Lake Bracciano and that – smaller but equally fascinating – of Martignano.

This path allows you to move from one ebike rental point to another, so that you have at your disposal not only the routes and GPS tracks starting from Chiusano San Domenico, but also those with origin at the Avellino cycle station in Contrada San Lorenzo, Atripalda.
This route can be cycled either one way or the other, depending on where you are. The GPS track is a little over 16 km long and takes about 2 hours to cover if it is travelled from Atripalda to Chiusano San Domenico; it will take about 1 hour if it is travelled downhill, i.e. from Chiusano San Domenico to Atripalda.
The road does not present any type of difficulty, so it can be tackled with all types of e-bike available for hire: city, trekking and full suspension e-MTB. By following the GPS track, you will avoid passing along the busier Strada Statale 7, also known as Vecchia Ofantina, preferring an itinerary that is more pleasant to follow and with less risk.
The following description was created assuming departure from the Atripalda rental point, at the Avellino cycle station. If, on the other hand, you depart from the Chiusano San Domenico hire point, all the information remains valid, inverting - naturally - their nature.
Leaving the Ciclostazione Avellino behind you, you only need to pedal your e-bike for 1 km to leave the bustling traffic of the city of Atripalda and take the SP5 after 200 metres uphill.
For almost 4 km you can enjoy the beauty of pedalling on a road that is not at all difficult, made up of pleasant ups and downs with small, short climbs followed by short downhill stretches. Although it has been replaced by the faster and more convenient motorway link, this road connects Atripalda and Serino and, therefore, may be affected by vehicular traffic: keep to the right in single file and pay attention.
After 3.7 km the navigator will ask you to turn left onto SP17. Here begins a 2 km climb, with no steep slopes. At the end of the climb, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Sabato valley and some magnificent vineyards. It is here, from these rows of vines, that some of Irpinia's finest wines are obtained, especially Fiano di Avellino. If you feel like it and if you have time, explore the surroundings in search of the most beautiful landscapes.
A beautiful descent will take you first to Sorbo Serpico and then to Salza Irpina, where you will have to face a short but steep climb to exit the town and turn right. For 500 metres you will ride on the SS7, with the village of Salza Irpina on your right, before turning left onto a secondary road with zero traffic. Relax and enjoy the pleasant climb (2 km) on your pedal-assisted bike. You will cross a dense and lush forest of beech and chestnut trees while maintaining a steady and decidedly rideable gradient. When you pass under an overpass and the forest gives way to a splendid panorama, it means that the climb is almost over. On your left you will have a wide view of Irpinia, with the Partenio Park, Montevergine and many small villages; on your left vineyards, countryside and the beauty of Monte Tuoro.
At the end of the road, turn right to join the SP39, which will take you to Chiusano San Domenico. When you come to a nice view (unfortunately transennined due to a landslide when this information sheet was written), it will mean you are entering the village. Go straight on, past Borgo Ripa (the old historic centre of Chiusano San Domenico, home of the journalist Carlo Nazzaro), the town square) and you have arrived. On the right, you will notice the orange sign of Reveló, the bike and rental point in Chiusano San Domenico of Ciclostazione Avellino.
