Sperlonga – Italy
Sperlonga!
Well we are in another picturesque medieval town on the coast of Italy. At least this one is not up on a mountain and prone to earthquakes, we hope.
The photo’s of this town and it’s beaches don’t do it justice. One of it’s main attractions for us is that it’s where the locals go not foreign tourists.
Perched on the coast between Rome and Naples it’s easy access for Italians from these cities to travel there for the weekend and many of them do as they have weekenders there.
It is not a lot dissimilar to the Amalfi Coast which is just down the road and the tourists always flood there, so Sperlonga is happy with that, which is so quiet by comparison.
Afternoons sitting in a local cafe in one of the Piazza’s eating antipasto & drinking Prosecco, looking out over the tranquil Tyrrhenian Sea, hearing only the sound of Italian spoken is heaven.
And what better way to spend a holiday in Italy than to share a house with Italians who love to cook. With our English friends braving the flight across the pond to join us, there was lots of cooking, laughter and plenty of beers and bubbles. There was even a couple of football matches, cricket and formula 1 on the TV to keep the boys out of the kitchen. Saluti!
