You start before the town stirs, stepping out of Sirolo into a chill that the sea already hints at warming. The trail climbs gently through holm oak and scrub, the cliffs to your right dropping sharply to beaches below while the Adriatic stretches silver to the horizon. By the time you reach the panoramic ledge the rocks and water are taking shape in the morning light — the twin stacks called Due Sorelle sitting like sentries offshore as the sun edges up.
