Pedaso and Cupra Marittima
Apr 27th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Le Marche Resorts
Just south of Porto san Giorgio is the small seaside resort of Pedaso. Pedaso is much smaller than most of the Coastal resorts in le Marche and because of this it seems much more family orientated. The small but friendly beach has several small fish restaurnts and a popular bar and also safe swimming areas for small children. It is famous in Le Marche for its Sagra delle Cozze or Mussel Feast held in the main piazza in the summer and which attracts may visitors from Italy and also from abroad. In the main part of the small town are several good restaurants and bars and the whole atmosphere in Pedaso is very friendly and relaxed and a great place to chill in the summer sun.
Further south along the coast we next find the small resorts of Massignano and then the very popular resort of Cupra Marittima. Cupra Marittima is another seaside resort that offers a relaxed atmosphere and it is reminiscent of the Italian coast just south of Rome.
Running through the centre of Cupra Marittima is the main Adriatica road, lined with small shops and bars and the Adriatica also runs parallel to the main North to South railway line and A14 Autostrada.
High above the main part of Cupra Marittima resort is historic Cupra Alta and the imposing 15th Century Castello di Marano with its pine lined avenues and lanes on the steep hills leading up to the main castle. The Castello di Marano is now the home of the Gristostomi family and parts of it are used for bed and breakfast accommodation throughout the year. The views from the top of the walled battlements of the Castello of the coastal plain and sea below are some of the best in Le Marche.
