The sand, with its
characteristic silvery color, stretches for about three
kilometers of wide, beautiful and profound beach up to a
hundred meters, reaching a stunning sea with sandy backdrops
that gently slop down.
The promenade of Alba Adriatica is
an oasis of three kilometers immersed in the green of palm
trees, pines and oleanders.
In the evening it becomes the
meeting point of the town, to take two steps and have fun
amongst the stalls and outdoor ice cream parlors.
The
seafront of Alba Adriatica, built in the 1950s, was
decorated with a monumental fountain, called "Fontana Nilo".
The Guglielmo Marconi
waterfront is crossed by the "Corridoio Verde Adriatico", a
cycle track that starts from Martinsicuro, with connections
to Puglia.
The cycling track runs parallel to the coast,
allowing you to pedal seamlessly for about 25 km from
Martinsicuro to Roseto degli Abruzzi thanks to the wooden
bridges built on the Vibrata stream, the Salinello and the
Tordino river.
The stretch of the Corridoio Verde
Adriatico that crosses Alba Adriatica and Tortoreto Lido was
the first stretch to have been built on the Adriatic coast
since the late 1960s; the track crosses areas with rich
pine forests, rows of palm trees and tamarisk.
The Alba Adriatica summer
carnival is one of the most anticipated events of the year
for the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo.
It is considered a
moment of tradition, art and entertainment that involves the
most important carnival events in Italy, takes place in the
first half of August, with free admission.
This is a very
engaging, attractive and entertaining carnival, made up of a
masked serpentine that stretches for about three kilometers,
Marconi seafront turns into a fun scene of colors, lights,
masks from carnival shows throughout Italy and so much
music.
The summer carnival of Alba Adriatica is a special
occasion of the summer of Abruzzo represented by the parade
of many allegorical wagons enriched by dancers, musicians
and famous celebrities invited for the occasion.
