Costa dei Trabocchi: da Pescara a Vasto

About the destination: "Pescara is the capital city of the Province of Pescara, in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Located on the Adriatic coast at the mouth of the Aterno-Pescara River, the present-day municipality was formed in 1927 joining the municipalities of Pescara, the part of the city to the south of the river, and Castellamare Adriatico, the part of the city to the north of the river. A small charming towns, open markets and local festivals in the nearby area are ideal for day trips to explore. And in the evenings, the beach cafes and the old town of Pescara Porto transform themselves into night spots. The mountain range also known as ""La Bella Dormentata"" (The Sleeping Beauty) is 40 mins away and its extensive park system includes natural beauty akin to national parks in the western United States. Within Abruzzo's parks lie some of Italy's most beautiful ancient hill towns rivaling those of Tuscany and Umbria."

About the destination: The origins of Ortona are uncertain. Presumably, it was first inhabited by the Frentani, an Italic population. In 2005, during works near the Castle, a Bronze Age settlement was discovered, and the Roman town largely coincided with this first settlement. Some sections of paved roads and urban walls, as well as some archaeological findings are the only remains of this period. Ortona remained a part of the Eastern Roman Empire (later Byzantine Empire) for several centuries, before it was annexed by the Kingdom of the Lombards. In 803 the Franks incorporated Ortona into the county of Chieti. From that date on, the town remained tied to Chieti and its territory.

About the destination: Vasto is a town and comune on the Adriatic coast of the Province of Chieti in southern Abruzzo, Italy. The beach resort town of Marina di Vasto offers a large sandy beach and several hotels and other facilities. Amongst the natural areas, is the protected natural area of the Riserva Naturale di Punta Aderci, whose beache were voted third of the top 20 beaches in Italy.
