The gran fondo
From the Cattolica Aquarium — just 8 km from Hotel Dory Riccione — you climb and descend through the beautiful villages of Romagna and Marche in one of Italy's most beloved amateur cycling events. Gabicce, Fiorenzuola di Focara, Mondaino, Saludecio, Gradara, Tavullia: places that have seen the pink jersey of the Giro d'Italia pass through many times, which for one day become the stage for thousands of passionate riders. With over 3,200 participants, the Gran Fondo degli Squali is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to experience cycling as a real celebration — from hotel-managed registration to the final pasta party at Gabicce Monte.
