Arsita – Chestnuts and Foliage Seasonal Walk and Lunch
Abruzzo has many spectacular vistas, but this chestnut and autumn foliage walk from Arsita up to Fondo della Salsa is one of the best, for a breathtaking view of the Gran Sasso massif.

Autumn in Abruzzo is our favourite season, it's a wonderful riot of colour and bounty of flavours to be experienced at festivals

The most famous San Martino festival in Abruzzo is hosted in Scanno with 3 giant bonfires that will fertilise the earth over the coming winter!

I particularly love this recipe for chestnut flour sugared doughnuts (ciambelle) from Canistro Superiore as when I asked whose recipe it was they declared it belonged to the village.
