Sentiero dei Limoni retracing the steps of the Formichelle

The Path of the Formichelle winds along 8km between Tramonti and Minori. It crosses villages, vines, terraces and ancient mule tracks that in the 19th century were traveled by indefatigable women who transported local products and above all lemons, like industrious ants.

During the journey the guide will illustrate to hikers the history of one of the products at the base of the gastronomic tradition of the Amalfi Coast, the PGI "Sfusato Amalfitano" lemon. This citrus fruit has been known since the times of the Republic of Amalfi and, thanks to commercial exchanges, reached all the countries of the Mediterranean and also Arabia. It was the Arabs who renamed what was known only as citro in "Limunzello" and highlighted its uses, even in the medical field.

The Path of the Formichelle is a tribute to women who over the centuries have distinguished themselves for the self-denial with which they have allowed the transport of local products, particularly lemons, through the roughness of the territory.
