A small fishing village.

April 2023 · 3 min read · Italy

Hello friends! It has been several days since I last wrote here because I took a short vacation break. And it is precisely about this wonderful experience that I want to talk to you about today, as I had the privilege of visiting a charming fishing village located in the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, near the municipality of Grado. The latter is a renowned seaside resort that I believe many of you, especially those residing in Austria and Germany, are familiar with. The beauty of this place has truly left an indelible mark in my heart, and I want to share with you every detail of this fantastic adventure.

We are talking about the village of Punta Sdobba Natura, a charming place located just a few steps from the coast, which offers guests the opportunity to enjoy both the sea and the beauty of the surrounding landscape. It is situated just a short distance from the banks of the Isonzo River, a river of great importance that flows through Slovenia before flowing into the Adriatic Sea, near the city of Monfalcone.

I discovered this place thanks to a friend of mine who is still a fisherman in these areas and actually lives in this village, which for the most part is in a state of complete abandonment. Many of these fishermen used to live in the famous Casoni, which were wooden huts, and then they built this village with these houses that are made of brick and are even more beautiful and comfortable. So I took a walk through the streets of this village, and it's nice to see that these people are still carrying on this work, which is very demanding but certainly brings them a lot of satisfaction.

Naturally, since I was nearby, I also visited the town of Grado, which is essentially an island connected to the mainland by a raised road, and as I mentioned earlier, it is a popular holiday destination for tourists from all over the world.

I focused particularly on the ancient and charming part of the city of Grado, with its picturesque alleys and historic buildings. The pulsating heart of the city is home to numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops, but what makes this place even more famous is the fact that it is renowned for its thermal waters. These waters boast unique healing properties, offering an unparalleled experience of relaxation and rejuvenation.

I must say it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience to visit this enchanting village that proudly preserves its ancient traditions. These traditions, although no longer economically rewarding, provide authentic emotions and a deep connection with nature, offering satisfactions that go far beyond money.

I want to sincerely thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I genuinely hope that the photos I shared have fascinated you and allowed you to experience my journey in this extraordinary place. I can't wait to share more adventures with you, so see you soon!
