- Madera Bike Tour - Starting out from Montalbano we’ll reach the olive grove plain and the ancient Traiana road that in the past connected Rome to Brindisi and today links Fasano and Ostuni with a paved cycling path, with hardly any traffic, full of spots of interest that describe what rural life used to be like.
During the tour we explain the history of the olive oil, from cultivation to harvest of olives describing the different production methods depending from on its final use: from the lamp oil to the high quality extra virgin we’ll tell you about the history and the passion developed over the centuries, always in tight connection with the local community.
On the trail we will visit an hypogeum oil mill with old millstone and presses, a fortified masseria farmhouse, a modern mill and a centenary olive field. Is possible to arrange an extra virgin olive oil tastings.

Beginning at Montalbano, nestled at the base of the hills sandwiched between Ostuni and Fasano in the core of Puglia, we embark on a cycling journey on a portion of the Traiana road, descending towards the shoreline to uncover the coastal dune park, a compact haven of biodiversity composed of flora, trees, reptiles, and avian species indigenous to the wetlands. The leisurely tour proceeds on narrow roads bound by stone with dry-stone walls, infrequently traversed cattle paths, and distinct scenery.
