Old farms and old trees The Masseria Torre stands like a fortress in the landscape and seems more like a castle than a farm. It is a typical example of a masseria fortificata, i.e. a farmstead converted into a fortress that offered the inhabitants protection from robbers and pirates. As the building belongs to an active farm, it can only be visited from the outside. Other masseries along the way are abandoned and can be entered (at your own risk due to their dilapidation). The olive trees along the way are even older than the masserias.

From Tower to Tower Cliffs with a view and a flat sea edge with colorful vegetation: These are the ingredients for a successful hike. As a cherry on top, there are two old watchtowers. The Porto Selvaggio nature reserve offers the amateur botanist a varied macchia and cliff vegetation, while everyone else will simply find the landscape beautiful. In spring, many different orchids bloom. The edible sea fennel grows in the spray zone. The macchia is rich in species and fragrant with various culinary herbs. Along the way, we pass the Grotta del Cavallo. Archaeologists found teeth in the cave that are over 40,000 years old and belong to Homo sapiens. This is its oldest evidence in Europe.
