Parenzo Premantura sulla costa

You start in Porec, parking available in the supermarket area or the sports center near the center (at least off-season). You pass through the center and continue a stone's throw from the sea, on the cemented and unpaved paths of the waterfront, given the low attendance in low season. You leave the coast before Funtana and head inland on paved trades almost all of which are secondary, until you descend on the main road to bypass the inlet to be abandoned after a short climb on a very steep but safe path to the right. Proceed on dirt and secondary asphalt passing Rovinjsko Selo and continuing on dirt to Rovinj, a very pleasant alternative to the almost parallel asphalt. From the city proceed along the coast between comfortable waterfront paths and campsites, except for a couple of detours inland to the onitological reserve near Barbariga, then back to the sea and past Fazana, Stinjan and the old port area of Pula. If it is traffic time, it is preferable to stay out of the center and ride the bike paths on the outer road, which leads to the dock to the south, from which you continue along the sea and some inland roads to Pramantura. The whole route is charming and only a few sections are traffic hazard.
