ITINERARY
1 Independent
travel and arrival in Assisi in the morning. Meeting point with the company for
description of tour, organization and to take the bikes.
Assisi-Spello-Foligno-Assisi:
First bike loop
tour to arrive in Spello and then in Foligno. Spello is a little town situated
on a spur of Mount Subasio and Foligno is situated on the
plain. Spello, along with its neighbouring cities, is surely the one
which preserves the greatest number of monuments testifying to the Roman era;
for example, the town walls, the ruins of the amphitheater and the splendid
town portals Porta Consolare, Porta Urbica and Porta Venere, dating back to the
Augustan era.
Free dinner and overnight in Assisi.
Km 40, a difference in altitude of about 250m.
Accomodation Hotel Porta Nuova (or similar)
2 Assisi-Bevagna-Montefalco: After
breakfast we leave Assisi and travel across the Umbrian countryside, arriving
in Montefalco, a hilltop town dominating
the valley. Assisi and Bevagna are the
symbols of art, archeology and history of the Umbrian region, while Montefalco is the symbol
of Sagrantino, a special red wine.
Before arriving in Bevagna, we have a picnic lunch and wine
tasting break in a vineyard close to Montefalco.
