Discovering an area full of surprises Embraced by the Adriatic Sea, the Gran Sasso and Maiella massifs, the province of Pescara is an area full of surprises. Dotted with villages, the area is predominantly hilly, but it is where the blue of the sea alternates with the golden sand of the Adriatic beaches where tourists and bathers from all parts of Italy - and beyond - arrive every year to spend their summer holidays. Pescara is its capital and the most populous city in the region. The reconstruction of the old town, after the bombing suffered during World War II, gives it a modern appearance. On a human scale, it is lively and generous. The waterfront is home to bathing establishments where you can soak up the sun during the day and have fun, with many restaurants, bars and clubs, at night. Birthplace of the poet Gabriele d'Annunzio, one of the unmissable stops in the city is his Birthplace. The whole province knows how to win over visitors with history, nature and sights to visit, all with a bunch of arrosticini in hand. From the Pescara Springs, the Cerrano Tower, to the Majella National Park, the Sanctuary of the Holy Face and the Hermitage of San Bartolomeo, the province of Pescara is a pearl of central Italy.

Walking among nature, between the Maiella National Park and the Trabocchi Coast Nestled between Pescara and L’Aquila, the province of Chieti is dotted with delightful villages among the most beautiful in Italy. The Castle of Roccascalegna, perched on a cliff overlooking the Abruzzo hills, is a fortress steeped in legend, often used as a location for films and television series precisely because of its unique position. Guardiagrele, on the eastern border of the Majella National Park, is known as the city of wrought iron and copper, in recognition of the importance of metalworking in supporting the local economy over the centuries. And let’s not forget Rocca San Giovanni. This beautiful village near the Adriatic coast preserves traces of the passage of centuries and offers all who visit a stunning journey back in time. Chieti is best discovered on foot, walking through the alleyways of the historic centre and the more modern part that has developed between Chieti Scalo, Santa Filomena, San Martino and Madonna delle Piane. Cycling enthusiasts can make the most of the Bike To Coast cycle route that crosses the Trabocchi Coast, which is named after the structures jutting out into the sea that were historically used for fishing.
