ADRIATIC SEA: Sunsets and fisherman, tourists and la dolce vita

WHILE THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE of amazing places to see and exciting things to do in Le Marche, one of the most simple, enjoyable things to do here is watch the sunset.

From Portonovo you can watch the sun drop below the mountains near Ancona, casting an orange glow across the Eastern horizon of the Adriatic Sea.

By the time the sun sets, the beaches have cleared out, the parking attendants have gone for the day and the gentlemen in Speedos have retreated (for the most part). In Portonovo, you can enjoy the silence and natural beauty.

And it is free.
