Description
A circular route to explore the area surrounding Porchia, an ancient medieval village and today a hamlet of Montalto delle Marche, perched near the Menocchia stream. The route winds along country roads lined with olive trees and cultivated fields, leading to the Church of Madonna della Pace. Completing the loop brings you back to the castle, where, after visiting the picturesque village and discovering its stories, it’s time to enjoy the typical flavours of Porchia, accompanied by the local wine.
