Conero, Recanati, Loreto tour
Conero country is a very singular place, where you can find sea, mountain, and hills in a few miles.
We started from Numana, a lovely little seaside village, to go in the back country, a wonderful hilly country with wineyards and fields.
Every up hill you complete you can enjoy a different landscape while you take a breath before get down.
We found also old cities like Recanati, that is the place where Giacomo Leopardi, one of the most important italian writers, lived in.
Loreto is another very popular spot, his church is magnificent, and landscape from it's square is incredible.
Finally we climbed monte Conero, a hill very close to sea, with spectacular cliffs and views.
