My favourite walk is along the Roman Acqueduct from Collepino to Spello. The views are breathtaking. It is an easy 5 kilometre walk one way to Spello but much harder hiking uphill to Collepino, a hamlet on top of a hill. On the way and depending on the season one can smell wild herbs and fennel and pick wild asparagus, figs and peaches. There are also the ever present gnarled olive trees (today full of fruit).
A real treat is to arrive in Collepino by taxi in time for lunch and dine at La Taverna San Silvestro. The owner and his wife go to extroadinary lengths to provide delicious seasonal home cooked meals, cooking both meat and vegetables on a grill over an open fire. The restaurant itself (the only one in Collepino) is atmospheric and cosy.
As we approached Spello on our return it was bathed in a heavenly glow.
