The final stage embraces the sea, a gentle line that unhurriedly follows the coast. A light, bright conclusion, amidst palm trees, beaches and memories that intertwine with the rhythm of the waves and your pedals.

The sea is there, beside you, through to the end. The last leg of the journey along the Strade di Marca flows slowly between the blue and the earth, with beaches, palm trees and the salty air. From San Benedetto del Tronto, take the Ciclovia Adriatica cycle path between palm trees and the seafront. You pass through Grottammare, Cupra Marittima and Pedaso, with short stretches on back roads and other perfectly cyclable routes, continuing between coast and urban scenes. At Porto San Giorgio, you cross the modern cycle-pedestrian bridge over the Tenna River, overlooking the mouth. Then continue along the coastline, through Lido di Fermo and Porto Sant’Elpidio. The arrival in Civitanova Marche closes the loop begun days before, with its emotions, climbs and discoveries. The bike stops where it all began, on the promenade. 
A return that smacks of transformation, a journey that joining land and sea, hard work and beauty. You arrive changed. And that, perhaps, is the most important achievement.
