Tortoreto
LIDO
it has a very close relationship with the sea under the double economic and cultural aspect. The deepest roots of this bond lie in the seafaring tradition, Tortoretan fishermen are specialized in clam fishing, in paparazze dialect, and in night fishing with lamparas. Waking up at dawn it is easy to meet fishermen returning from their fishing trip on the beach or to see their boats returning to the port of Giulianova. On the other hand, the paparazze are the undisputed protagonists of the clam festival, organized and managed by the fishermen themselves, which is held in August. The tourist vocation of Tortoreto represents the other side of its link with the sea, our town has been able to win over its visitors who have promoted it to the first Abruzzo town in terms of number of visitors during the summer months.
