About this experience
A guided hike in one of the most scenic paths of Mount San Bartolo, accompanied by the magical atmosphere of the sea among the Mediterranean vegetation to reach the beach of Vallugola Bay.
We will visit Fiorenzuola di Focara with its panoramic terrace and its narrow alleys and the small fortified medieval village of Casteldimezzo telling the legend of its crucifix and the importance of these places in antiquity as mooring and exchange points deeply modified by the evolution of the coastline over time.
We will be able to smell the scents of the Mediterranean scrub warmed by the sun and discover a lush nature a few steps from the city.
