SUNDAY, September 15th /
Novara - Peschici 830 Km
We leave at 7:00 from
the sleepy Novara with
the plans of reaching
the italian Adriatic
coast as soon as
possible. The first stop
is scheduled in the
Conero area, chosen as a
midway point before
reaching the white
cliffs of Puglia. The
highway is flowing
freely but the exit of
Porto Recanati is closed
(due to a gathering of
the Catholic Association
with the Pope) so we
decide to change our
plans and head straight
for Peschici earning an
additional precious day
to our holidays. Around
18:30 we easily reached
Peschici, Camping Baia
San Nicola meets all our
expectations, referred
to us by a friend we
then looked it up on
internet. Pleased with
our choice, even without
camper service (although
there is no need these
days), the village
offers all the principal
services included in the
price of the camping
pitch; hot water, elec,
electricity, beach
umbrella with lounge
chairs. Mino the Manager
and his wife are
exqisitely
warm-hearting, the camp
site is small but
welcoming, it's
positioned directly by
the sea, in the splendid
San Nicola bay. We
placed our camper a few
steps from the golden
sandy beach and within
an hour we are ready to
eat...the sea air is
known to bring appetite. |

Thursday, July 10th
12:30 p.m. Busy with my
rounds of the holiday
structures on the
Gargano, I'm now at the
Baia di San Nicola in
Peschici.
Mino (owner of the
camping Baia San Nicola)
is not aware that I'm
about to drop in, though
we do not kow each other
we have friends in
common I met him near
the reception and I
present myself, he shows
me in and we start
talking, Mino keeps
going on telling me
about the many years
spent in this bay, his
memories and many
sacrifices in buildinbg
a business, he tells me
how as a child he helped
his parents which had
started the business in
this naturally beautiful
and picturesque Baia San
Nicola, behind him a
splendid, calm and
serene sea of colors.
I had no doubt that Mino
would have conquered me
and that I would walk
away enriched by this
encounter, I knew about
his love for this land,
his battles for the
awareness of the
Gargano. Mino is like
that, within minutes he
wins you over, he talks
like someone who has
travelled the world and
crossed various
cultures. In just ten
minutes heard him speak
with his guests in
english, a friendly
hospitable english and
then in german, a warm
but garganic german.
I would bring my family
here because when I
travel I like my
children to learn, a
vacation can be
forgotten if we don't
look for those emotions
and passion passed on by
a culture born and
raised by the sea side,
and then to leave
looking back at the
horizon by the sea.
What is the point of a
trip or a vacation if
nothing remains of those
days, relaxation is
important as well as the
place, but that isn't
enough if we don't find
something that ties you
to a place even id it's
only for a brief period.
Baia San Nicola is
fantastic, still
immersed in a plush
green vegetation, but I
would stay here for my
holidays thenks to Mino,
because he is what I
find special and
sensational, his drive
and passion.
While he speaks of the
Gargano, it feels like
the trees grow faster,
the flowers are looking
at you, the sea listens
to you and that the
Gargano is more alive
than ever. He greets
tourists wighout too
much fuss, spontaneously
like a friend, he glows
with pride and silently
fights for this
territory to make it
better for the next
generations.
Below follows the link
to Mino's campsite, I
would stay at Mino's, if
you don't seek hearty
hospitality in your
vacations, then you can
choose many good
villages in the area
which aren't bad at all,
but here there are
sentiments that can't be
bought. |
