MULTI DAY TOURS |
Between San Gimignano and Volterra |
 |
 |
 |
| 3
days mountain bike ride across the wonderful countryside that surrounds these two
pictoresque medieval towns, both dating back to the 10th century and
very well preserved. Riding across the narrow alleys inside their mighty
defensive walls is like jumping back in time of about 800 years, when
pilgrims used to stop for a prayer in one of the many Romanesque parish
churches that were built here during the Middle Ages. The beauty of the
surrounding countryside will be the well-deserved reward of the scenic
but demanding itinerary that we'll follow during this rather challenging
tour.
