MAPS Situated in the centre of Italy, Abruzzo lies just an hour's drive from
Rome. Often overlooked, it has never been discovered by mass tourism. Abruzzo
has something for everyone: hiking on the slopes of the Majella mountain range,
wine tasting along olive-strewn roads that disappear into the labyrinths of
ancient towns, shopping through the sunny, pastel streets of Pescara or skiing
on the highest peaks of the central Apennines. This updated guide explores towns
and villages well off the beaten track. It also goes into greater depth on the
region than its competitors, with more detail on the history, culture and
sights, and more opinionated and entertaining reviews of hotels and restaurants.
