Route length 4 days
Quando si pensa alla Romagna, la si associa sempre al mare, le lunghe spiagge sabbiose e la buonissima piadina romagnola. La Romagna non è solo la costa Adriatica e Rimini capitale del turismo e del divertimento. C’è una Romagna differente fatta di città d’arte, di piccoli borghi autentici e ottima cucina.
In Romagna (e dintorni) ci sono invece tesori culturali che vale la pena visitare e tradizioni da vivere, fra una nuotata e un’altra.
Brisighella (Ra)
Brisighella has been called one of Italy’s Most Beautiful Villages, a slow city for its architectural beauty and quality of life, awarded the orange flag by the Italian Touring Club. To travel through Brisighella is to discover a village and a land immersed in a natural setting that is still intact, a pleasure for the eyes, a place to love in every season. Today, after walking around the village with a tour guide, you`ll have the opportunity to learn about the art of embroidery firsthand. You will learn how beautiful pieces, especially for trousseaus, came into being, which you have surely already seen in your own home, preserved like little treasures.
For lunch you will try a tasting of excellent local products, such as piadina, typical cheese, Brisighella D.O.P. olive oil, and Mora Romagnola cold cuts, an ancient breed of pig you can only find here!Address:

Bertinoro (Fc)
In the afternoon you will take a guided tour of this beautiful medieval village and the fortress. When you enter the latter, you can smell the sea. It’s an instant, it almost seems as if you can still feel the fury of the sea rushing against the cliff that was once Bertinoro.
Bertinoro is also famous for its wines and gastronomy. With a “sfoglina” you will learn how to iron the pastry with a rolling pin, with the opportunity to taste the delicious dish in a symbolic place: the balcony over Romagna in Bertinoro, accompanied by traditional Romagna wines.
