A brief loop, for when you don’t have much time at your disposal.

The Contrada Mezzanotte dominates Teramo and offers a unique view. The road that goes from the high part of the Contrada to the intersection for Sparazzano is closed to traffic (due to a landslide) but it’s possible to bike on it. We always recommend you use a helmet and wear the adequate clothes and bring along a tire repair kit.
