The road

South, with the sea alongside.

From Quercianella you follow the Variante Aurelia southbound, leave at Castiglioncello and drive down towards the bay. Seven point four kilometres, eleven minutes.

The stretch between Calafuria and Castiglioncello is all rocks, pinewood and low houses: the Bay of Quercetano is the first real inlet you meet on the way down.

The comparison

Two coasts, the same evening.

People in Quercianella know the rocky sea: deep water, platforms, the tower of Calafuria above. The Bay of Quercetano is different: enclosed, with terraces stepping down to the water and the village clustered around it.

For a wedding the difference shows in the spaces: ceremony, dinner and party stay in one place, with no drive back up the coast at the end of the night.
