Bike Ride to Buseto Palizzolo
Leaving the bustling seaside towns behind, head inland, gradually ascending via a succession of pastures and rolling wheat fields. This sparsely populated, vast expanse of beautiful nature dotted with old crumbling farmhouses is a joy to see. Spring is ripe with the lush green wheat that turns bronze yellow in summer then ochre and brown as the fields are plowed. Our destination for the next 2 nights is a small family-run farm serving wonderful home grown and locally sourced Sicilian specialties prepared by the “mamma.”
