Bella salita mai troppo impegnativa che attraversa le desolate colline argillose da Bova Marina a Bova. Pochissime auto, nessuna fontanella se non arrivati a Bova. L'asfalto è in buone condizioni. Una volta arrivati nella piazza di Bova resterete sorpresi a sentire gli anziani parlare in grecanico.
