What : il Pesca fa Festa
Where : Cesenatico
When : 29 October - 1 November 2010
Cesenatico is a town half an hour north of Rimini. On the train, it costs 2.50€ one way.
It is as small as it is safe. Here, there are hardly any signs warning you about wondering on the beach alone. It, too, has a stretch of beach but here are no signs of past and future drunken beach parties. Instead of groups of young men walking on the streets, there are middle aged couples, grandparents and dogs. Everyone here walks at a slower pace, trying to cut through the crowds to rush for the train was a frustrating and embarrassing affair. I felt like a bullish rogue brushing past everyone else.
The streets were filled with all sorts of food stalls, the small town transformed into a huge restaurant. Outside kitchens were set up. Special menus of the freshest catch were created, all at very affordable prices, especially the wine. It was impossible to eat everything.
