– ROAD BIKE –
The Francigena Way by bike
(self guided)
The Via Francigena is a web of roads the pilgrims did to get from central Europe to Rome, Santiago de Compostela and Jerusalem . The origin of the name refers to the french territories called “Romea” because it led to Rome, centre of christianity. In Italy, its origins probably date back to when the longobards used it to connect the Reign of Pavia to the centre and the south of Italy; it then became natural for the pilgrims to use it to get to San Michele Arcangelo or the ports of Ostuni and Otranto to go to the Holy Land<br>
We’ll bike on the last stage of the via Francigena, the last kilometers the pilgrims walked before leaving for Jerusalem. A charming itinerary on the coast, full of history and located on one of the most beautiful seas of Italy.<br>
A tour for with short stops, without difficulties and with a philosophy of slow travelling without the stress of timing that gives us the chance to enjoy every second of the stunning colors and scents of Apulia.
