Explore the town of Linguaglossa with an e-bike tour. During this tour, you will pass through all the key points of the country. The guide will show you the various bars and restaurants, the town’s tourist information center and, of course, its beautiful murals. Linguaglossa has 11 churches, so you will pass many of them too. We will also take you to a panoramic point overlooking the town of Linguaglossa, the Ionian Sea, the Etna volcano and the Nebrodi Mountains.
The saint of the town is Sant’Egidio. He stopped the lava flow that threatened the country in 1923. A stop at this memorial monument cannot therefore be missed on the tour. Through country roads lined with hazelnut groves and vineyards, you return to the starting point.

We start from the heart of Linguaglossa, cycling through ancient streets and along rural roads surrounded by hazelnut trees and nature. Our first stop is to see where the 1923 lava stopped in Linguaglossa.
Then we leave to go towards Cuba Bizantina, an ancient Byzantine church surrounded by nature, where we will make a short stop.
We continue our journey towards the river until we see the spectacular small Gole dell’Alcantara, inlets of basaltic origin smoothed by the flow of the freezing water of the Alcantara river, ideal for a photographic break. Using paths that can only be traveled by bicycle, we cycle along the river until we reach the medieval bridge.
