Abruzzi sea

Let yourself be enchanted by the Seven Sisters, which stretch over Abruzzi sea.

If Vasto overlooking Golden Bay, the Seven Sisters are arranged nicely around the Silver Beach sea of Abruzzi. The fact that there are seven, like musical notes, the days of the week, the chakras, the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the veils of Salome, is already an indication that the mythical dell'aure wraps. The advice is to follow them by bicycle, to savor the freshness of summer and the close harmony, the first four are also united by Green Adriatic Corridor, a bike path that connects to Tortoreto Alba Adriatica, but we also wanted to extend in a northerly direction up to Martinsicuro, on the border with Marche, south and stop at the height of Giulianova, Teramo in the heart of the coast, or even in Roseto. The stretch Alba - Tortoreto Lido is more enjoyable for the freshness of palm trees that surround it, making it almost a tunnel Green overlooking the Adriatic of Abruzzi. But here are the characters of the sisters. As a bit of competition between the sisters breathe even in the best families, we will proceed in order of appearance, from north to south.

Martinsicuro - Abruzzi sea - appears immediately after Tronto river. It 's like a protective older sister, immediately puts the record straight: "You walked in Abruzzi", seems to suggest to tourists, "and I proclaim with pride." At about the tower of Charles V at the entrance of the village is an explicit warning. Built in the mid-sixteenth century to sight the eternal Saracens who came from the sea, proudly displays the insignia of heraldry with the imperial eagle, while taking up the road, you can visit the Museum of Ancient Arms. Martock is the repository of family history, a history intimately linked to that of the sea of ??Abruzzo on the hill above the river, archaeological excavations have uncovered a village dating from 1000-800 BC, while the ancient Truentum, inhabited by the people of Liburni, was situated at the mouth of the river.

Alba Adriatica - Abruzzi sea - is located just to the south, had long been united in Tortoreto Station. As a younger sister which has more generously opened the road to independence, Alba Adriatica is now fully enjoy her bubbly happiness, with the rooms where the flow of young people in summer becomes continuous, with its oases of pine trees and oleanders, its equipped camping, reverberations from the fountains of porcelain. Its beautiful palm trees make her look like a miniature Miami: the dark green of the foliage creates a lovely contrast with the fine sand and clear of the beach. And 'this town is likely to be defined because the Silver Beach Adriatic, famous for its vast beaches of silvery shades, a hundred meters deep. Alba Adriatica is so lively that it would be long to list all events, entertainment, tournaments, taking place there in recent years seems to have put the festive summer carnival that takes place the first week of August.

Tortoreto - Abruzzi sea - is the sister of all radiant and refined, with shops lining Via Carducci that connects the Adriatic main road to the Adriatic Sea, with its promenade and large modern, colorful ice cream shops and parks and public games, the transition ships on the horizon, cutting the waves windsurfing. Interacts with the others and looks away. Baron joined the Palio, the Clam Festival and Bouffe fish, true to its maritime tradition, even at restaurants. Split between the Lido, a blaze of light and plant care, and the Village of the fifteenth century, from which we contemplate the sea of Abruzzo, Tortoreto is reflexive and alchemy. In his color creeps at times a veil of nostalgia. Maybe because here a Roman villa of the II century BC looks like a green oasis in the Sources of the Vessel and a bustling water park, the Blue Wave, co-exists with ancient churches from drugs decorations. Tortoreto is flattered by the vineyards of the surrounding hills as it is animated by a multi-faceted tourism.

We pass the Salinello river and reach the sister more autonomous and unrestrained, that the new ones have it in the blood. This is attested to even its toponymy: Giulianova - Abruzzi sea - was originally Castrum Novum, then softened nel'antica Julia Nova. And in a sign of a woman casually continued its journey under the sea holidays: one of the first bathing establishments of Italy was built here in 1873 and called, not surprisingly, Venus. Casually as lovely as that of its mayor in 1860, stopping a horse, King Vittorio Emanuele II on a visit, said: "Your majesty is a thief!", Immediately adding: "Because he has stolen the hearts of all Italians." Giulianova remained impetuous, under the spell of tradition, but longs to break them: a Harley Davidson motorcycle rally may invade the streets and a romantic sandcastle contest occupy the beaches ...

Going further south, a few kilometers, we reached Roseto degli Abruzzi - Abruzzi sea. There is a confidentiality dodges in Roseto, a hint of shyness, almost clear, that is resistant to play beach volleyball on crowded beaches, the hustle and bustle of tourists relaxed, the commingling of foreign languages, and has the flavor of the old nobility. Roseto is the sister who wants to sit a little secluded, absorbed in itself, because he can not do, it is surrounded by other ... If Martinsicuro Alba Adriatica is teal and silver, if you Tortoreto Giulianova iridescent turquoise and gold, Rose Garden is like the sun rose gardens that give it its name. Radiates light and fills the horizon, with the glittering mosaics of the churches and the orange hues of its beaches.

The color dominates contrast to the cha Pineto - Abruzzi sea - is, needless to say, the deep green of pine trees. Pine has maintained a characteristic that also expanding, as if from one area to another rimbalzasse traded away a point, a note s'insegue and back, unchanged. Despite its recognized vocation for seaside holidays, the town in Abruzzo is familiar, peaceful and serene. In this quiet made of pine and children playing, only occasionally slips a breeze gently brackish, wild, a note of vigorous rebel euphoria: the sister who never looks good in the family, does not fault the waltz, but it triggers appropriate of Latin rhythms. Here you can take a dog to the shelter moved along Pineto and spend a night under the stars next to the magical Tower of Cerrano (Arbuzzo), located a few kilometers. Passing it, finally reach the lovely sister who, like Tom Thumb seventh, has in itself something of all the others.

Silvi Marina - Abruzzi sea - is guarded as Martock, uninhibited as Alba Adriatica, nostalgic like Tortoreto, sparkling like Giulianova rosetana in the sunshine and the family apparently Pineto. Silvi is the child already adult woman and still evolving. With the additional nuance of urban, capricious coquetry Pescara now ... Leaving the festive Silvi Marina and increasing to high, as they call it here, where you can admire the beautiful medieval village and the thirteenth-century church of San Salvatore, embrace at once all over the Adriatic of Abruzzi, pushing the eye out there than ever you would imagine, to the lands that are on the other side. Then the wide-ranging sea comes in you forever and courtship of the Seven Sisters will now seduction
