What a wonderful world...


Yesterday I went - my second time of my life - to the Grotta Azzurra. It's a wonderful place at the feet of Monte Cardeto, where the old lighthouse stands. The Grotta Azzurra (blue cave) is called so after the bigest cave present in the area. It is the only artificial cave. But something very strange - and wonderful at the same time - is to see about fifty small caves dug by the Anconetani in the 50s, which are know really a sort of casa al mare, villette, romantic refuge with the sea wetting the table of the sitting room. Yesterday, Sunday, it was full of people gathering mussels, symbol of the town, to prepare spaghetti alla tarantina, with some fresh tomato, mussels, oil and salt - amazing!

It is not only because I'm from here that I always celebrate the beautiness f this region. It is because every time I realize to live in a place which has a great sea 5 minutes walking from the city centre, I think I can't live too far away from here.
