RICCIONE - MONDAINO - RICCIONE

After an initial taste of the sea – with the route running alongside the backshore -, it advances rapidly through the valley between the Conca and the Marano rivers, on a border territory once militarly strategic and thus extremely sought-after. The uphills in the Valconca are really close to the Riviera and require swift and well-trained legs, but this luxurious valley rich in testimonies from the past is the ideal gym for active discoveries on a bycicle.

Not to be missed:
between Montefeltro and Valconca, a succession of medieval hamlets still inhabited, where history and traditions are still present and alive.
