Beaches and paths through the landscape

The landscape perspective includes several beaches in the area around Casalini: Spiaggia Rosa Marina, Spiaggia di Monticelli and Spiaggia Torre Canne. The Trail dei Casalini runs along unpaved paths through olive groves and small vineyards. For planning the trail, the unpaved surface is a specific characteristic of the route; its course through olive groves and small vineyards therefore differs from the festival-related locations on the piazza.
