Tipi Percorsi
Il giro che proponiamo da Rimini a Santarcangelo di Romagna Vi farà letteralmente innamorare. Si parte dal parco XXV aprile di rimini, dove si può ammirare il famoso ponte di Tiberio, ponte Romano costruito tra il 14 d.C. e il 21 d.C. che oggi risulta ancora percorribile anche in bicicletta. Lasciandoci il ponte alle spalle, si prosegue lungo la pista ciclabile che costeggia il fiume Marecchia per circa una decina di chilometri, da questo momento in poi ci si immerge completamente nella natura fino a raggiungere Santarcangelo di Romagna. Sono tanti i motivi per i quali vale la pena scoprire Santarcangelo: per la sua forte identità romagnola e l’atmosfera di grande borgo scandito da un giusto ritmo di vita, per la sua bellezza architettonica fatta di nobili palazzi, case borghigiane, vicoli e piazzette che le hanno conferito il titolo di Città d’Arte, per le manifestazioni di respiro internazionale che la animano non meno delle sagre di paese dense di profumi e di sapori.

If you want to visit wineries, restaurants and businesses who joined the event, please call in advance because special menus and prices and opening times may vary without notification.
The two routes, the Granfondo (135 km, elevation difference 2621 m) and the Mediofondo (83 km, elevation difference 1526 m), offer breathtaking views of our countryside, the ultimate iconic Italian landscape.

What are 'pajare'?
Pajare are ancient rural buildings typical of the Apulia region. These structures, dating back to prehistoric times and used until the 19th century, represent a unique example of traditional rural architecture.
Pajare are entirely built in dry stone, without the use of mortar, and have a conical or trullo-shaped structure, with a dome roof resembling a beehive. This particular shape was designed to ensure better resistance to the weather and greater durability over time.
Originally used as temporary shelters for farmers during working hours in the fields, pajare have often been restored and transformed into accommodations for tourists who want to experience a unique stay immersed in nature and the history of Apulia.
