After yesterday’s exertions, decided to stick to smaller towns, in particular Brisighella. A gorgeous little town at the bottom of massive hills on top of which sit the church, the Rocca (castle) and the tower. And we drove up rather than walked!




Then Faenza – in most other places it would be amazing, but here didn’t feel out of the ordinary (apart from the extremely yummy ice cream!).


Back for a swim – I’m afraid it’s time for the usual warning for those of a nervous disposition to avert their gaze ….

Decided to explore and eat in our little local town of Castel San Pietro Terme – bit of a mouthful! Not on the tourist trail but extremely pleasant. Surprised by an evening concert in the main square – even more surprised to find that meant the only restaurant was fully booked (the other one being closed). But found a local Osteria outside the town – absolutely splendid pasta.
