Abruzzo explained

Abruzzo is divided into 3 main geographical areas: Marsica to the west, Appennino in the centre, Sub Appennino to the east. Abruzzo has a surface of 6710 square miles, slightly bigger than Yorkshire (6000 square miles). While 5 million people live in Yorkshire, there are only 1,250,000 people living in Abruzzo. This alone explains why all natural resources in Abruzzo are practically untouched and many italian properties are here for you to buy. The Italy's Apennines mountains run through 2/3 of the region. The Gran Sasso and the Maiella mountains, names sounding like some dramatic Opera characters, are the two highest peaks in Abruzzi, offering a great sight from almost anywhere you are in Abruzzo and featuring good quality ski-resorts for winter fun. A few rivers here and there, the main ones are Aterno, Sangro and Tronto, and a few lakes make Abruzzi a really picturesque region in Italy, a place Beatrix Potter would have really loved if only Peter and Jemima were not a target of the region's highly skilled housewives and real experienced chefs de cuisine.Yes, my friends, food and wine in Abruzzo is serious business! After a holiday Abruzzi or in Italy over here you should not worry about the extra kilos of shopping in the boot of your car as much as you should about the extra pounds of weight gained courtesy of Arrosticini di Pecora and Montepulciano wine, to name a couple of culprits! The good news is that, to burn extra calories, there are so many places to go and things to do in Abruzzi, that you can enjoy your visits to the tavernas and agritourisms without having to worry too much!

Italy's tourist authorities probably knew this when the Pescara airport was opened to international airlines in 2001. Since then a large number of foreign visitors had the chance to discover Abruzzi, a place where after enjoying your body pleasures (food, sport and romance), you can also ensure that your spirit is real well pampered!
