You roll out from Locorotondo's circular centro storico as mid-morning light picks out whitewashed facades. Narrow alleys give way to quiet country lanes; the pedals hum and the landscape opens into the Itria Valley, its stone walls and olive terraces urging you onward like an old friend.
Locorotondo—whose name literally means “round place”—grew around medieval walls and later expanded with the low, dry-stone architecture typical of Puglia. The terrain here is limestone karst: gently rolling fields, scattered trulli, and centuries-old olive trees that root into thin soils and long summers. The town's culture is tied to small-scale farming; many local families have pressed oil in the same mills for generations.
On this three-hour e-bike loop you pause at a family-run oil mill to learn pressing methods and taste extra-virgin olive oil, including a regional “red olive” varietal. Expect short on-bike stretches between viewpoints and photo stops, a hands-on look at milling equipment, and a tasting that pairs oil notes with local bread.
Practical guidance: bring a helmet (often provided), sturdy shoes, and layered sun protection. The route is suitable for riders of most abilities thanks to e-bike assistance, but expect some uneven country roads and short climbs. Water is included; rental e-bikes are available onsite for a fee, or you may join on your own e-bike. Aim for morning departures in summer to avoid the hottest hours, and reserve at least 24 hours ahead to secure instant confirmation.
