Crema is like a young lady: elegant and quiet, at first glance, but also extremely energetic and joyful. It’s a leading locomotive in the heart of the Pianura Padana, ever endeavoring to achive higher goals and improve.

In this “City of Harmony” organs and bells are crafted at the famed Fonderia Allanconi. Here authentic local foods such as Salva Cremasco, Tortelli Cremaschi, Spongarda and Bertolina cakes can be savored. Crema possesses a silent and sheltered sort of beauty that is carefully embraced by its denizens who express in words, stares and gestures, their pride, ambition and joie de vivre.

Only recently has Crema revealed itself and its coveted way of life to visitors. Its charming noble palaces facing narrow streets and squares as well as its churches convey stories from various ages with astonishing architecture and art.

Crema has rich vegetation and is located in the Parco Nazionale del Serio. It features an extensive network of bicycle paths that link the outskirts to the city center.

Some of the routes extend to adjacent towns, such as the Ciclabile (bike path) del Canale Vacchelli - an artificial waterway that cuts through Crema from west to east. It is a 36-km ecological route that joins Parco Adda Sud and Parco Oglio Nord with the municipal Parco Moso and Parco Tormo.

CORNERS OF PARADISE

The "Fontanili" in Capralba and Farinate (CR)

 

These "fontanili" are man made microenvironments. Their origin dates back to the 11th-12th century. The "fontanili" channel the natural springs in order to drain the waters that naturally emerge and had flooded vast surfaces of the plain, reclaiming the land and making it suitable for cultivation.

Today these water springs are mainly a site of landscape and ecological interest (ecomuseum).

 

In Capralba and Farinate, there are eight different bicycle routes available, some are short (10-16 km) others are long (over 30 km)  and sometimes they loop or form a web network.

For more information you can contact the Pro Loco of Capralba
