(Distance from home 128 km). As often happens to those who love to travel has been the stainless wants to leave and go to any place so as not to stand still to let us embark on this deastinazione. Destination that first "dressed up" seemed just a life raft and instead has proved as a pleasant city, certainly not memorable but the important thing is to start not! Found a distinguished at 7 pm and left at 8 am on December 30th we soon arrived and we immediately visited the Spanish fort where the remains of a mammoth with a name scentifico complicated. L'Aquila is characterized by the number 99: it is said that over the famous fountain of 99 spouts has 99 churches and 99 squares. The fountain of 99 spouts is an incredible thing: every time you have to count a different number! believe that someone is taking you around and hide from time to times thicker the spouts, and then find that for you to return the bill of 99 you must count the 6 spouts placed in a corner and not on the middle row. Do not miss the fabulous Basilica Collemaggio: It appears that there just resting and that behind the facade is not by anything. Wake up December 31, we immediately asked where they set a stage for festivals, but they told us that it is customary to celebrate in the square of L'Aquila, but rather prefer a nice table spread with all his might. We have been recommended for a new year in a village square near S. Stefano di Sessanio where we spent the fateful last hours in a village rather unique (we also found that part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy). Atmospheres in a village which was likely to remain unoccupied but has been converted to a true gem. The final consideration is certainly good always assuming that the spirit with which you deal with a journey is the most important thing.
