17 km from Perticaro to Zinga by way of Pallagorio. Pallagorio is one of the liveliest arbëreshë communities in Calabria, and its goldsmith workshops come from that Albanian heritage. The path then opens onto views of vertical sandstone walls. At Zinga, in the comune of Casabona, you meet the salt diapirs: dazzling white gypsum against grey clay, holding drops of a Mediterranean sea 5.6 million years old.
