In estate (summer), Campomarino is indeed a beach town. We
get the weekenders who arrive on Saturdays and Sundays, then leave before
sunrise on Monday. But throughout the year, Campomarino is a farming town. This
is evidenced by the fresh produce and delicious restaurants in the town and the
surrounding area.
This weekend has been one where we saw all that this town
has to offer. On Friday, we had a great visit from Antonio Monaco and his beautiful
family. Then we spent much of the next two days at the beach. Saturday night
was an evening in Campomarino paese (the main town, not the beach) for the
festa of Santa Cristina. The streets were swollen with locals and weekenders
looking for great bargains, a little food, and some interesting people
watching.
