Lecceta di Torino di Sangro
Abruzzo
The lecceta is one of the few surviving fragments of the evergreen oak forest that once covered this coast, shading a network of paths along the cliff edge with the sea always glinting through the branches. A long stairway drops to the pebble beach and the Via Verde cycle path below.
