The greenest region in Europe is Abruzzo. An ecosystem that resists the constant destruction of the environment by humans. A refuge for animals and a place to find unique flowers. Beaches, mountains, castles, and medieval towns are prominent in the National Parks. It’s a place where you can lose yourself in time and return to the times of traditional fishing and battles between nobles due to a dispute for the love of a maiden. Come and breathe the fresh air from the lungs of Europe!
Brodetto alla Vastese is a typical fisherman’s dish. It’s a soup with at least seven types of fish, accompanied by tomato, garlic, red pepper, and olive oil. Potatoes, water, or broth are never added, nor is the fish cut. It must be removed carefully. Do you dare to try this strict recipe?Â
Arrosticini is the name of the sheep or lamb meat skewers cooked on fire by the peasants 100 years ago. Today, this meal has become a tradition for the inhabitants of Abruzzo, who also boast of the amount they can consume.
Visiting the Trabocchi Coast, facing the Adriatic, is a unique experience in Italy. Some of these wooden structures on the beach, which resist the waves, are restaurants where you can eat on the sea today. Do you want to taste fresh fish with the sound of the tide?Â
Santo Stefano di Sessanio is a town wrapped in rock. A photographic spot in front of the Gran Sasso. An abandoned treasure that offers money to those who want to go live there and start a business. If you are a fan of medieval times, visit some of the original fortresses in the region, such as Castel del Monte.

The perfect time to visit the Abruzzo forests is autumn, with its color changes. The end of spring is excellent for practicing active tourism and enjoying the sea. The summer’s central months shall be avoided to avoid coinciding with too many people.
We recommend flying to Rome and taking the road to Abruzzo from there. This way, you will notice every viewpoint, a forest, or a single opportunity to stop and take in the panoramic views around you.
