Blessed by a solar climate Puglia is becoming one of Italy’s most sought bike touring destinations.
It's our easiest tour: the vast, undulated plains are perfect for training or relaxed rides. The landscape is a great riding companion: century-old olive trees, amazing coastal routes, the vast fields in the inland and that peculiar brightness of the air. Land of conquest: over the centuries, from the Greeks to the Normans, from the Arabs to the Spaniards, this region has been a busy crossroad of history. Admirable works of art still witness the variety of his guests: from Romanesque to Baroque the well preserved old towns display architectural jewels. Strictly homemade and inventive is the cuisine. Puglia is Italy’s first producer of vegetables, olive oil and wine. Fresh ingredients and a legendary cooking ability combine to give you a new story to tell for each meal. The local wines are too many to name them all, we just mention the superb red Primitivo di Manduria. After the ride you will always find an inviting beach so don't leave home without your bathing suit.
