Cooking Class in Tuscany Private Day Tour from Rome

The Province of Pisa is located in central-western Tuscany, covering a stretch of coastline, wide plains and rolling hills that include the Colline Metallifere to the South. The coastline is made up of extensive beaches surrounded by high dunes and fresh pinewoods, and is home to renowned tourist resorts such as Marina di Pisa and Tirrenia. The inland landscapes vary, depending on the area's natural features; they assume varying forms and colors, espeically when one arrives at the spectacular badlands that speak to the erosion phenomena that characterizes Volterrano and Val di Cecina. Another extraordinary and striking landscape is that of the famous geysers of Larderello. Among the numerous protected areas, the Parco Naturale Migliarino San Rossore-Massacciucoli is especially important. Located in close proximity to the coast, it is made up of woods, wetlands and a great variety of Mediterranean vegetation; it is home to animal species such as boars, foxes and deer. The Berignone and Monterufoli Forests, in the areas of Volterrana and Alta Val di Cecina, constitute two vast wooded zones bountiful with plant and animal species. The thermal springs of Casciana, San Giuliano and Uliveto have served as hot springs spas for health and wellness since time immemorial. Archaeological finds are sprinkled all over this splendid and changing landscape, from Romanesque architecture and historical villages to the magnificent city of Pisa with its Leaning Tower and other fascinating monuments. Traditions, cuisine, wines and spas are waiting to be discovered in this unique territory.
