- Biking to quaint Tuscany towns. I am a huge fan of biking (at home in Luxembourg, I even bike when it’s -15°C), it’s just an ideal way of traveling slowly.
- Visit Pasta Factory Martelli, Lari. To me, Lari represents the quintessence of a Tuscan town: a medieval city center, topped by an impressive fortress, breath-taking panorama views on the rolling hills, and on sunny days you can even spot the Leaning Tower of Pisa!
- Visit butcher Macelleria Ceccotti, Lari. I promised you foodie heaven in Lari and so our next stop is the local butcher (macelleria) Ceccotti. I admit that it might be hard to see why a butchery should be a haven for foodies and should be featured on a sustainable travel blog?
- Horse riding at Tuscany Hills. Are you an animal lover AND enjoy to travel slow? If yes, why not explore the lush green hills of Valdera region, Tuscany on horseback?
Pontedera has long been a commercial center. Built on the confluence of the Era River and the Arno, it became a manufacturing and artisanal town, moving goods along the rivers. It takes its name from Ponte dell'Era - bridge on the Era - which was built in 1099. For years it was the only crossing point to go from Florence to Pisa.
