Alba to Asti

Tuesday, August 28, 2012

We rode from Alba to Asti today, approximately 35.2 km and by far the easiest riding day of our trip which by now we were grateful for.  Alba is know for its fine cuisine, candies and good wine. Many of the streets in all of the towns we have visited so far are called Via Cavour, in this case the street has much historic medieval looking architecture.
One of the towns we rode through was called Gavone and has a famous 17th century castle. The town itself dates back to the Middle Ages, the castle was magnificent and so were the views.

We stayed at the Hotel Lis who were very gracious with presenting each rider with a bottle of wine, of course ours was consumed that night.
