Area 02 · Ride between the stone walls
Valle d’Itria is not one panoramic road. It is a dense web of small lanes running between dry-stone walls, olive groves, vineyards, masserie and trulli.
Ostuni, Cisternino, Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Alberobello and Ceglie Messapica work best as one connected riding landscape. The PMR approach focuses as much on the roads between the towns as on the towns themselves.

Offroad means verified access
Every Adventure / Enduro line is a concept until we verify public access, gates, local ordinances, seasonal restrictions and protected-area rules. A hiking or MTB track is never treated as automatically legal for motorcycles.
