- Riserva Naturale Le Cesine - We cycle trough this well preserved natural reserve - where you will be inebriated by the smell of eucalyptus and other autocton plants/trees.
- San Foca - If the weather is good we will stop here for a swim break, to restore during the hottest hours and eating the sandwich that we usually buy in Acaya.
- Struda - Back on track through some small villages such as Vanze and Strudà, where we can take a break. Riding through some country lanes we’ll see olive trees, recognizable for their size and for the logs, true works of art made by nature. We’ll go back to Lecce through side streets between the campaigns.

Riding out from Lecce towards the southeast through secondary roads, we will reach the fortified village of Acaya, a Messapic site where you will admire the majestic medieval castle, the walls of the village and its ancient city plan, still preserved.
Then we will move towards the WWF natural park “Le Cesine”, which hides many beautiful plants and water birds. So we will refresh with a nice swim in Torre Specchia and we will cycle back to Lecce crossing a landscape full of olive trees and small villages
