Why Abruzzo?

Gallery of Abruzzo

Lush valleys, sun-baked beaches and majestic mountains offer a romantic distraction from a daily routine. The countryside awash with vines and olives, villages teaming with historic charm, welcoming smiles and curiosity, yet around every corner finer examples, ever more breathtaking. Food becomes a familiar theme. Fresh, delicious and simple cuisine dominates, accompanied with local wine, and brought to a close with a shot of warm coffee and lemon liquor. The subsequent passeggiata amongst the elegance and pride of the locals is almost uncivilized without a smidgen of home made ice-cream on a wafer cone.

The kind and determined (forte e gentile) nature of a typical Abruzzi has been moulded by their deep respect for tradition and culture. All generations participate together in farming, social and family activities. The generation gap promotes respect to the elders and equal participation from the youngsters. The streets are safe, crime is rare and binge drinking unheard of.

Abruzzi know how to live and they do it so well. Their towns and cities are focal points to a host of festivals and celebrations, some with the strangest of origins, and often kept alive because it-s just so much fun. The eventful social calendars are fuller through the summer period where it seems every evening somebody is letting off a fabulous firework display. Don-t forget the other months, however, for some really spectacular shows that will stop you in your tracks. Once the long summer is over the weather changes and the mountains fill with snow. When winter finally comes, the fun starts again when the skiing season kicks-off. It doesn-t have to be hard work though, walking through the fresh snow, sipping hot chocolates can be what it-s all about. The big problem with Abruzzo is going back home. I gave in to that pain, and I now call Abruzzo home.

Sea	The Trabocchi coast stretches from Pescara south to Vasto. A Trabocco is a wooden fishing hut that sits in the Adriatic sea connected to the land by a, sometimes precarious looking, peer. They are protected and unique to Abruzzo. Large areas of the coast line are natural reserves. Abruzzo in 1805 had more European blue flags for beach quality than any other region in Italy. The Trabocchi coast in Abruzzo has both pebbled and sandy beaches. Some beach resorts are busy and organised and others are secret coves.	Property for sale in Abruzzo. Houses to buy in Abruzzo.

Festivals	Many of the Abruzzo cities have still kept their historical roots and cultural flair. They have regular festivals through the summer and insure that from May to October something is going on. The festival at Lanciano officially lasts four days, but for August to the middle of September is a period where each day there seems to be more and more happening. See if you have the energy to watch the opening ceremony firework display at 4 am September 14th which lasts about half an hour, followed by a brass band procession, pizza and a quick trip to the sea to watch the sun rise.

The weather in Abruzzo is fantastic, warm enough to go for a swim five months a year, skiing for four months a year, and a generally mild temperature all year round.	Property for sale in Abruzzo.
