Carrara Marble Quarry, Carrara, Italy
Bike tour utilizing an electric bike will take place through the renowned Carrara marble quarries and the historic center of the city. This accessible experience caters to individuals of various ages and abilities.
An exclusive opportunity awaits visitors seeking access to locations typically restricted, offering them a once-in-a-lifetime experience unlike any other. Our guided tour begins at the picturesque vineyards of the Candia Hills, where the breathtaking panoramic view of the sea unfolds before our eyes. Following this stunning vista, we proceed down a gentle slope into a serene square leading to the renowned caves.
Our journey continues through a series of characteristic zigzags on the "ravaneti," narrow dirt roads adorned with layers of marble dust. These winding paths serve both historical and modern purposes—daily use by acrobatic truck drivers transporting blocks of the precious material. As we ascend toward the historic town of Colonnata, a delightful culinary treat awaits: the local delicacy, the lardo.
Upon reaching Colonnata, a leisurely break allows us to savor the flavors of the region. Following this rejuvenating pause, we embark upon a descent back towards Carrara, enabling a comprehensive exploration of the city's architecture and culture. Upon arrival, we will traverse the entire length of Carrara, gaining a deeper appreciation for its architectural marvels. Finally, we conclude our adventure with a return trip to the starting point, leaving behind memories that will stay with us long after the tour has ended.
This unforgettable journey is undoubtedly one that we wholeheartedly recommend to every traveler!.
