    Itinerary

    Perfectly flat route along cycle paths and limited traffic roads. Short sections of roads with heavier city traffic during the summer season. A small part of the routes takes place on roads in pedestrian areas or near the beaches. The route connects the historic center with Grado Pineta. At sunset, a short stop for an aperitif will be pleasant!

    Food & wine

    Grado holds a treasure of unique flavors like boreto alla graisana, a dish based on poor fish, which was prepared by fishermen living in the Casoni, who used fish that could not be sold at the market for their sustenance, creating a simple, rich, and tasty recipe. From very ancient North-Mediterranean tradition, sarde in saor to be tasted strictly cold made with breaded sardines, onion strips fried in oil and cooled in vinegar, raisins and pine nuts. Enjoy your meal! RECOMMENDED DISH: Boreto alla graisana
