Itinerary description
|
We leave Grižnjan behind and head through the hills and Istrian hinterland towards Porec. This is the most characteristic and evocative stretch of Parenzana, the one that really follows the old railway passing through bridges and tunnels. The view of the town of Motovun (Motovun) is stupendous and would encourage us to visit it, but given the less than perfect physical condition of a member of the group we decide to save ourselves the climb to the town. The clouds chase us all the way, becoming more and more threatening and we decide to cut through some stretches of Parenzana using the asphalt road. Once we arrived in Vizinada, however, the downpour hit us in full and we had to take refuge under a roof... as soon as the rain let up a little we therefore decided to head at full speed towards Porec following the asphalt road and never was a wiser decision, as other cyclists that we had found on the route and then in the evening we found it in Porec, we learned that afterwards it hailted! Arrival in splendid Poreč with the sun and accommodation in the apartments managed by the Hotel Valamar, truly excellent. They were also very kind in finding us a place to park our bikes in the storage area of another of their hotels.
