And then in the afternoon we will face a canyon with over 2.000 meters of precipice, with hairpin bends carved into the rock to a narrow gorge – better not to tell you what the locals call it!

And we, New Centaurs, Roaring Men on Two Wheels, We will explore the lands of myth where ancient Aromanian was spoken, Romance language of the Southern Balkans. The ascent to the highest peaks will be a real challenge, Every step steeped in legends and myths, Passing through majestic landscapes and ancient sanctuaries, Sacred Wells, Legendary Springs and Caves, Keepers of secrets and wonders of the past; Once you reach the top, You will be rewarded with heavenly views and the feeling of being welcomed into a space suspended between human and divine reality.

from Zadar to Trieste
Difficult day, with the soul torn between the horizon of home that can now be glimpsed and the amazing beauties that we have to greet; running the entire length of the Pag peninsula is living a lunar dream, while the northernmost stretch of the historic “Jadranska-Magistrala”, now that the motorway that runs from Italy to Zadar has been completed, is returned to the lonely libidinous enjoyment of us motorcyclists.
