Date of appointment is the 1st weekend of June (3, 4 and 5 June) and there is every reason to do so. Then the monthly antiques market is held in the historic center, making it a weekend full of activities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14345 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/opvakantienaartoscane.info\/wp-content\/2016\/04\/locandina-l-ardita.png\" alt=\"locandina l ardita\" width=\"566\" height=\"797\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the antiques market and the retro round, there is also a vintage bicycle market, lectures, the possibility to test E-bikes and even a course with obstacles for children. Compared to Gaiole in Chianti (place where Eroica happens), Arezzo is also a bustling city full of art and culture with numerous restaurants and cafes. An ideal opportunity to make a city trip out of it!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4217\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4217\" class=\"wp-image-4217 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/opvakantienaartoscane.info\/wp-content\/2012\/01\/antiekmarkt-Arezzo.gif\" alt=\"antiekmarkt Arezzo\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">the monthly antique market in Arezzo<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The course of the retro round is 4 km long with the starting and finishing point in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.en.html?city=-110636&amp;aid=2298785&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\">Arezzo<\/a>. The highlight is without doubt the ascent of the Alpe di Poti, 8 km long with a height difference of 600 meters and a maximum gradient of 14%. Moreover, most of this climb is on unpaved roads.<\/p>\n<p>That the climb appeals to the imagination is proven by the fact that it was included in the 8th stage of the <strong>Giro d&#8217;Italia<\/strong> 2016 with arrival in Arezzo. Then the idea grew to dedicate this climb to Marco Pantani and since 2019 this has been a fact. The inauguration took place during the edition of the Ardita and Marco's mother and sister were present.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14346\" src=\"http:\/\/opvakantienaartoscane.info\/wp-content\/2016\/04\/Ardita-Arezzo-01.jpg\" alt=\"Ardita Arezzo 01\" width=\"802\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the top of the mountain at 972 meters there is a food stand where you can eat concentrated food from the old box after the effort: no energy drinks but bread with ham, cheese, salami, sugar dipped in red wine, all kinds of pastries, ...
