If you are going to Italy in August, there are two things you should know. First, the most famous cities in Italy will be full of tourists. Second, Italians usually take a long vacation in August, leaving many markets and shops empty, hello to those who remain to make money, you can flood Rome, Florence, Venice, and Siena, but you will be elbowed with almost five billion Japanese, British, and American tourists, hardly dreaming of a vacation in Italy In August, if you must go, you will go to Ariminum.
If you can’t afford the luxury of Sardinia, Capri or some of the more popular southern Italian beaches, and you really don’t want to be around other Americans, Arimini offers a whole different Italian experience: a real beach. vacation The best part is that almost no one speaks English there, as in most big cities. Some, of course, but most of them then look at you confusedly trying to talk to them. All it does is look more like another country.
Ariminum is located on the northern coast of Italy on the Adriatic Sea. It is about three hours south of Venice and also three hours north of Rome. It is mainly a place where other Italians go on holiday but also British, German and Russian tourists, which makes for an odd mix of holidaymakers. There were, as far as I could tell, no traces of the Americans anywhere. The more I wonder why not?
Or is it because it’s so expensive to go to Italy in the first place that why waste all that money on relaxing on the beach? Or maybe if you’re there to expose yourself, then travel to Fiji or Hawaii or the Virgin Islands. Perhaps. But there is something about Arimini that those exotic locals don’t: a friendly, family atmosphere. It is a town designed for tired parents and their activity-hungry offspring. You can’t walk down the block without laughing, finding games, toys or kids food. Beaches beaches are all designed around adult desires and active kids.
Even the Adriatic Sea seems to be destined for children, lapping up its gentle waves and warmth. There aren’t many places where parents can really relax without worrying so much about their children – and try to drag an eight-year-old to the Vatican.
The beaches of Arimin with their unspoiled miles and umbrellas seem from another time. It is old from the road to the beaches erected to the houses in the town for food. they serve in their trattorias and bars. Arimini is known for its Piadina, a type of flour tortilla stuffed with mostly prosciutto and squaqueron cheese, the main dish here. Almost every eatery will serve food with a main course. They can be served with roast beef or grilled eggplant and tomatoes. After a day in the hot sun, piadina makes a perfect lunch. Beach bars also offer mixed fried, fried fish, or you can order steam.
The whole story is told of Arimini’s night. The premiere of a hot disc becomes a pubescent spot spotted and not only in old age. Most Italians know Ariminum because they know that it is a hot spot late at night. The discus of Ariminum sits mostly on the outskirts of the town. The real draw here, for families and anyone over the age of 30, is the beach experience. A few coins per chair can allow the whole family to do what Italians have been doing for decades – sleep, play and enjoy the warm sun.
Somehow it seems possible that Arimini will be unknown to Americans for a long time. If nothing else, maybe some people want to visit the famous Italian director Federico Fellini’s hometown and the infamous place Grand Hotel, around which Armacord It was based on Fellini. Of course, that is one of the many reasons Arimini is a magical place, almost surreal in its charm. La Dolce Vita, for
