One of the many joys of a stay in Gabicce Mara is to go walking among the countryside. The town is flanked by cliffs and there are numerous hilly paths to hike along.
Make your way southeast toward the Natural Park of Mount San Bartolo. Go walking or biking along trails that pass through and by olive groves, vineyards and woods of maples, oaks and hazel. Take paths that descend to the sea to discover secluded beaches and the coves of Fiorenzuola di Focara and Casteldimezzo.
Gabicce Mare is in the Pesaro e Urbino province in northeast Italy. The area enjoys hot, dry summers with a refreshing coastal breeze and cold and wet winters typical of a sub-continental climate.
