Yesterday my friend Kara and I took a day trip to the
biggest town in Southern Tuscany, Grosseto. Once we got to Grosseto we took a
half hour bus ride to the beach coastal town of Castiglione Della Pescaia. It
is a beautiful town that sits on a mountain top overlooking the beach and the
Mediterranean Sea. There is a castle on the mountain as well that has turned
into an overlook and apartments it seemed like. We went to the Saturday morning
market the town was having and walked around looking at the boats docked and
enjoying the quietness of there being barely any people around. We found a good
restaurant for lunch and we had spaghetti with clams. We got gelato after and
went down to the sea! The weather was pretty nice but the water was cold. We
watched the fishermen on the beach with their stationary poles stuck into the
sand. After walking along the beach and getting some gelato, we headed back to
Grosseto. We walked into the town’s main piazza where there was an antique
market and where a carnival celebration was happening. All of the little kids
were running around in the piazza with their costumes on and throwing confetti
everywhere. We headed back to Siena at night after enjoying another Tuscan town
and feeling excited that we got to go to the beach!
Ciao!
