The 10 Best Nature & Wildlife Areas in Abruzzo, Italy
Abruzzo (pronounced [aˈbruttso]) is a region of Central Italy, with an area of 10,763 square km (4,156 sq mi) and a population of 1.2 million. Its western border lies 80 km (50 mi) east of Rome. The region is divided into the four provinces of L'Aquila, Teramo, Pescara, and Chieti. Abruzzo borders the region of Marche to the north, Lazio to the west and south-west, Molise to the south-east, and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Geographically, Abruzzo is divided into a mountainous area to the west, which includes the Gran Sasso D'italia, and a coastal area to the east with beaches on the Adriatic sea. Abruzzo is partially considered culturally, linguistically, historically, and economically a region of Southern Italy, although geographically it may also be considered central. The Italian Statistical Authority (ISTAT) deems it to be part of Southern Italy, partially because of Abruzzo's historic association with the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

It is a really lovely place, here you can admire Torre del Cerrano it is a sightin tower, build in 1490 to protect the population against pirates, the area is surrounded by a pinewood in front of the sea, the area is protected because here, on the dunes, nests a bird called fratino. It is a lovely place to go for a walk, a swim, or just relax on the beach.
