Bagnara Calabra — Città dello Spadara
Calabria
Bagnara Calabra's fishermen still practise a traditional method of hunting swordfish from tall-masted spotting boats in the nearby Strait of Messina, a technique documented in the town's small maritime museum. The seafront and streets give an easy walk with views out toward Sicily across the strait on clear days.
