Riviera dei Cedri — Citron Walk
Calabria
The Riviera dei Cedri between Praia a Mare and Santa Maria del Cedro grows cedro (citron, Citrus medica) — a fruit used in Jewish religious ceremonies (Sukkot). The Jewish community worldwide depends on this small Calabrian coast for the etrog fruit. The terraced groves above the sea are extraordinary and almost entirely unknown.
