No riding today — only full immersion into Matera’s ancient stone city. A rare expedition day where the motorcycle disappeared into the background and the destination became the story.
Matera to the Adriatic coast: trulli villages, cliff towns, harbors, and sea roads instead of gravel and survival mode. The expedition slows down in Carovigno before the northern return begins.
The day began with a true northbound transition out of Carovigno, riding between the Adriatic and the salt pans after deliberately skipping the trulli villages already seen southbound. After lunch, Gargano delivered a beautiful second stage — until a giant boulder blocked the road and forced a return through the same spectacular coastal curves.
