The Monte Conero is a rise that rises along the Adriatic coast in the Marche with a height of 572 meters above sea level.
The Conero offers spectacular views and rich biodiversity, making it a popular destination for hikers, nature lovers, and history enthusiasts.
The Conero Regional Park is a protected area that extends over approximately 6,000 hectares, offering a unique combination of natural beauty. Dominated by Monte Conero, the park is characterized by imposing limestone cliffs, lush hills, and a rugged coast with white pebble beaches.
The park is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor activities, with numerous hiking trails that allow visitors to explore the rich local flora and fauna: among the most notable species are rare orchids, peregrine falcons, and royal seagulls.
There are also beaches like those of Sirolo, Numana, and Portonovo that are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
In addition to nature, the Conero Park also boasts a rich cultural offering, with villages, ancient monasteries, and archaeological sites that testify to the long history of the region.
The combination of breathtaking landscapes, biodiversity, and cultural heritage makes the Conero Regional Park an unmissable destination for anyone visiting the Marche.
The Marche, with their rich and varied culinary tradition, offer an extraordinary combination of flavors that range from land products to those from the sea.
Among the most representative dishes of Marche cuisine, we find pasta dressed with paccasassi and sauces of mussels and clams: these ingredients tell a story of authenticity and a deep connection to the territory.
The paccasassi, also known as sea fennel, are a wild plant that grows spontaneously along the cliffs of Monte Conero: this rare plant is characterized by fleshy, aromatic leaves, with a flavor reminiscent of fennel and citrus.
In the culinary tradition of the Marche, paccasassi are appreciated for their unique and versatile taste: they can be preserved in oil to enrich appetizers, crostini, and salads; they are also transformed into pesto with oil, pine nuts, and parmesan, becoming a delicious condiment for pasta; they can also be added fresh to seafood salads or sautéed with garlic and chili.
The Marche, with their long Adriatic coast, offer a cuisine rich in seafood flavors. Among the most loved dishes, there are those with clam and mussel-based sauces, which enhance the authentic flavor of the sea.
Spaghetti & Mandolino is committed to selecting producers who use the best raw materials, capable of satisfying even the most demanding palates: mussels and clams are carefully selected by artisans for their freshness and flavor in order to offer a finished product that honors the land of these producers.
With these sauces, you can dress various types of pasta and save a dinner with friends in a simple yet elegant way.
