Leave the village of Morigerati for a short distance following the same road from which you arrived. Just outside the inhabited center, take a small road which, at a visitor center, becomes a dirt road and climbs back up to the SP 54 C. turn right towards Casaletto Spartano. Just outside the town is the oasis from where various paths start and where you can admire the cascade of water and moss known by all as the "Hair of Venus". The beautiful Capello fountain, which invites you to refresh yourself, is located right at the entrance to the visitor center. Proceeding towards Tortorella, following the road, you arrive in the village of Battaglia with the Gallotti period building, dating back to 1200, where Garibaldi stopped walking up the peninsula during the enterprise of the Thousand. Arriving at the foot of the pedestrian street that leads to the town of Tortorella, the surprise is great when you find yourself in front of the "Cross of Santiago" dated 1500, testifying that the ancient Way that started from Jerusalem passed through here. Rome and continued as far as France to then enter Spain direct to Santiago de Compostela.
