INFORMATION AND HISTORY The Path of Lemons is a simple but fascinating walk that connects Maiori and Minori, along the ancient road that was once the destination of the passages of farmers and mules, for the transport of the yellow gold of the Amalfi Coast.
When it was born, this road was the only connection between the two villages, the alternative road was in fact represented by the sea;The tour starts after a brief introduction from the beginning of Corso Reginna in Maiori. We will pass near the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria a Mare, a church built in 1505.
The stairs will lead us to Torre, a small village in the municipality of Minori, which houses the ancient Church of San Michele Arcangelo which will enchant you with one of the most beautiful panoramic points of the coast "Il Belvedere della Mortella" (the dialectal name of the myrtle plant, very common in the area), from where you can see Ravello and, more in the distance, Amalfi and Atrani.
The hiking tour, continues downhill where we will wait for Viviana and Vincenzo, to tell us the family story of 'Agricola Cuonc Cuonc with an aperitif tasting products at km 0 of their panoramic garden.
