As my teaching mobility to Pescara is sponsored by the EU programme Erasmus+, this evening I walked a bit further to see Pescara’s Erasmus Beach for myself. The negative review is unwarranted: it’s actually very nice!

Whenever I walk past a traditional pasticceria I feel it would be rude not to stop by. Especially as, in non-touristic cities in Italy, these short breaks hardly break the bank (here 3,20€).
