Ideal by bike. Overall little-trafficked road.

I find drinking water fountains very practical. You can fill up your water bottle there in an emergency when all the shops or restaurants are closed.

It's really beautiful, climbing a small hill. Unfortunately, there's no shade there, but there's a bench with a view.
