For three days, therefore, the tourist port welcomes the most important motorcycling brands in the motovillage, with a program full of proposals, from live concerts, to street food, test rides, experiential activities and a series of proposals for discovering the Abruzzo area. During the event, which ends tomorrow, participants will be able to take part in organized tours to discover the hinterland, landscapes and panoramas of the green region of Europe.
«Rider days», comments the president of the tourist port, Gianni Taucci, «perfectly fits the strategy of valorising the Marina di Pescara not only as a landing point, but also as a gateway to the interior. From here, dozens of routes are available, many to be explored on two wheels, both by motorbike and by bicycle, which in a short time allow you to experience Abruzzo in all its nature, from the sea to the mountains, from artistic craftsmanship to ‘food and wine’.
