From Masseria Uccio to Specchia and back
“Masseria Uccio” – Tiggiano – Alessano – Lucugnano – Specchia – “Masseria Uccio”
Difficulty: Very Easy; there are not significant climbs and descents for inclination or length.
Suggestions: It is a very interesting cycle tourist path, recommended to the guests of Farm Uccio who want to rediscover the country, cycling surrounded by century-old olive trees, running along dry stone walls and the typical rural buildings of Salento: farms, Pajare, furneddhi, lamie, etc… We recommend being accompanied by a guide (Associazione Nomofazu: info@nomofazu.org E- mobile +39 377 1204680).
Path: Leaving “Farm Uccio”, you reach the Sanctuary of Madonna di Fatima. From here go to “Farm Tiggiano”, cross the small historical centre and continue to Alessano (Contrada Matine), crossing Via Gonfalone towards Lucugnano, crossing 275 main road connecting Lucugnano and Alessano and you arrive in Specchia historical centre, back trip.
Duration: 55 minutes (non-stop)
Places of interest: Masseria of Tiggiano, now owned by the Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren (under refurbishment), Baronial Castle of Tiggiano, Alessano historical centre, Lucugnano (historical centre and terracotta artisans) and Palazzo Comi
