Some historical notes make us believe that the town Montefalcone dates back to 705 AD, when the “Curtis Montis Falconis” was assigned to the Farfense monks.

Grottammare is a nice town of the “Riviera delle Palme”, situated in an enviable geographical position, near a wonderful valley; each year many tourists choose it in summer as preferred location.

Un percorso che abbraccia tutto l'entroterra della provincia

From Cupra Marittima we head south and, following the SS16 we pass through Grottammare and San Benedetto del Tronto.

La strada scorre nuda in un anfiteatro di monti, che sentiamo premessa a qualcosa di inconsueto.

Il placido percorso tra le palme e la macchia mediterranea è quanto di meglio offre al cicloturista questo tratto della costa marchigiana meglio nota come “ Riviera delle Palme “.

Leaving from Cupra Marittima and following the road south until Grottammare and here at the traffic lights turn the first right and we take the SP23 cuprense.

This is a quite hard and long path suitable for well-trained bikers.

Offida has won the award as one of the “Most beautiful Italian towns”. The Rocca dominates the town from above: a fortress featuring two cylindrical towers of special beauty.

L’itinerario percorre, per buona parte, la strada del ROSSO PICENO SUPERIORE, vino a denominazione di origine controllata(D.O.C.); nonchè alcuni tratti interessati al fenomeno calanchivo (CALANCHI).

Starting from Cupra Marittima and heading north, turn left immediately to take the SP91 Menocchia Valley
