The Journey Home 2023 — Roseto Capo Spulico Calabria

On our 2023 rooting trip we made a quick stop to visit our friends Sabrina and Antonio in Roseto Capo Spulico. Sabrina runs a beautiful B & B less than 1/4 mile from the sea. Along the shore there is a magnificent walk with several restaurants. A great place to unwind and relax for a couple of days. 

There is also a 1000 year old castle/watchtower in walking distance.

Antonio and Sabrina took us to a great restaurant in the old town on the hill that had spectacular views and old world charm. The food was very good and we dine al fresco in a garden type setting. 

Antonio gave us a tour and the history of the old town. It was fascinating to hear how the people lived 6, 8 or 10 to a room and used a small common square for marriages, funerals and festivals. We also discovered “Lovers Walk” the most narrow street in the world where the young lovers would meet away from the crowd. Now old lovers can meet.
