Embark on a challenging mountain bike ride along the "Coast to Coast da Torre san Giovanni verso Tricase – giro ad anello," a 50.2-mile (80.8 km) loop that demands very good fitness and advanced riding skills. With 1670 feet (509 metres) of elevation gain and an estimated duration of 5 hours and 26 minutes, this difficult route takes you through a magical place rich in history. You will encounter diverse terrain, from unpaved paths and singletrack to asphalt and gravel sections, all while enjoying the panorama from the Serra del Mito with its beautiful terraces overlooking the sea.
Prepare for a hard mountain bike ride where you might need to push your bike on some sections, as the difficulty is rated between STS S3 and S6. This route is best suited for experienced mountain bikers looking for a demanding adventure in Puglia, Italy. The Salento region, known for its clear sea, golden beaches, and abundant olive groves, offers a scenic backdrop for your ride, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts.
What makes this trail particularly notable is its historical significance, as its main path follows an official stretch of the ancient Via Francigena Traiano Calabra. The area around Serra del Mito is especially rich in history and provides stunning panoramic views that add to the unique character of the ride. Beyond this specific route, the broader region offers a multitude of other trekking and mountain bike trails for further exploration.
