Perched on top of a cliff, we will walk through its streets and arcades that offer incredible panoramic views all around, including the Adriatic sea coast. Packed lunch. From here we will be able to see also our next destination: Gradara and its suggestive small historic hamlet and famous fortress right at its top.
