In order to take shelter from the cold winds, that strike the Castle walls, the inhabitants of Mondolfo know that they can go to the valley of Madonna of the Caves, situated on the west side of the town. Close by the Marian shrine, annual destination of thousands of faithful, you can rest in a luxuriant pine-wood and go for a walk along nice paths of the Tufa Valley, an ecological-cultural path in full touch with the nature of the Marche, in a landscape where the vine and the olive-tree are predominant and where the African bee-eater builds a nest.
