Picture this: a stretch of coastline where the blue shades of the sea blend with the sky, and as you wander along the shore, the salty breeze mingles with the aroma of freshly cooked seafood from the kitchens of seaside restaurants. And there, right before your eyes, the trabocchi come into view – ancient fishing machines standing proudly along the coast. Their weathered wooden walkways extend over the sea, while long wooden arms hold intricate nets to catch the fish. It’s a spectacle that reveals tales of time-honoured traditions passed down through generations.
We are in the Trabocchi Coast, a hidden treasure nestled in the Abruzzo region. Located between the beautiful towns of Ortona and Vasto, along the Adriatic State Road 16, this coastal gem spans a mere 40 kilometres. Yet within this short distance lies a myriad wonders waiting to be uncovered, including charming villages, cultural landmarks, pristine beaches, nature reserves, and countless stories.
