19-21 September 2019
Pescara. Pescara. Pescara. What to say? It is on the coast. It was bombed heavily during WWII because of the port and railroad junction. This resulted in a lot of new development. The town is flat and laid out on a grid (a welcome respite from our medieval town experiences).
Being a port city, the fishing industry is big. We concentrated on fish for our meals. Unlike in other cities, we did not visit churches, because there weren’t many notable ones, and we went to only one museum—the birthplace of the poet d’Annunzio. We spend most of our time wandering the streets that were filled with people and shops. Not many tourists at this time of year. Lots of kids strolling, running, and on bikes. A good amount of dog walkers too.
This is a beach town. It must be hopping in the summer. Now, well into September, the umbrellas are relaxed and folded, waiting for warm weather to arrive in 2020.
We spent two nights here. Glad to have come.
