Summer in the city.....

Hello, we went to the amazing Teatro delle Rocce in Gavorrano on Wednesday and it was awesome. The theatre is hewn from an old quarry and the views are breathtaking. The medieval hilltop town of Gavorrano is in Grosseto about 25 kms from its more famous glitzier seaside resort of Castiglione della Pescaia where I had a super fresh grilled Sea bass for dinner.
At about 6 pm the fishermen return to the port and you can jostle with evryone else for a tasty little fish to throw on the barbie ! Choose any of the seaside restaurants and you will be guaranteed fresh fish !
Closer to home,Lucca is absolutely heaving with tourists, most of them making a beeline for Anthony Moman's exhibition "Oh My God !" at Lu.C.C.A museum. If you haven't been yet and are in Tuscany during the summer you must go ! It is well worth a little detour from Via Fillungo plus it is free entry !! There is also rather a good restaurant about 50 metres away called Ammodonostro that serves Lucchese food with a little twist,plus the service is polite (unusual in many restaurants in Lucca) and the prices are very reasonable - what are you waiting for ?!
