| For Your Holiday in CAPO VATICANO TROPEA |
 |
|
|
The coastline of Capo Vaticano stretches from the Bay of Riaci to that of S. Maria. Nearby lies the mythical beach of Torre Ruffa steeped in legend and history. Underneath the extreme tip of the promontory run little beaches, the biggest of which is Praia del Fuoco divided by huge crags which rise out of the waters and reach up to the sky almost to the height of the Cape. |
|
Some of these beaches can only be reached by the sea which in these stretches is crystal-clear. The sand is white and very fine, the sea limpid and transparent and all around the colours dance radiantly as if animated by the sun and the breeze through the dwarf palm trees and cacti, myrtle, broom, geraniums and wild poppies. |
 |
All the beaches and all the
seashores have always used the tip of the Promontory of Capo Vaticano as a
reference point, not only geographically but also because of what it
represents: an inaccessible,
sacred place. It has been inaccessible
throughout the long centuries – harsh, rugged, wild, arid, inhabited
only by the jackdaws which populate the rocks and by foxes; it is also
sacred, as are all things which possess a dreadful and inaccessible aspect. |
