Cycling in Tuscany (2)

Living dangerously in Volterra

San Gimignano, once full of towers like this one: private defense towers to survive hostile neighbours in the Middle Ages

Hundreds of kilometres of cycling are quickly and easily forgotten with ice and capuccino and some beers and/or wines on a San Gimignano terrace...
