The SalentoTrail is the “Irregular Road Experience” a mixed route, dirt-asphalt, which in the 2024 edition, from the Parco del Crocefisso in Muro Leccese, guides you to Lecce passing through the fortified city of Acaya, and then continues to the Oasis of the Cesine, up to the sea, the Adriatic one, the one north of Otranto, the one with the sandy coasts so to speak, and it does so, passing through the hinterland, through the Salento countryside, crossing the signs left by a thousand-year history of peoples who they have occurred in these lands since the Neolithic. Pedaling, you will pass by Menhirs and Dolmens of an age of which they are the only witnesses and you will cross unmistakable signs left by disappeared civilizations (Messapi), and then pedal on streets dug by the wheels of horse-drawn carts starting from the Roman period and then farmhouses and Medieval villages and fortified farms and woods from before agriculture.
