Bagnara Calabra

Going further south, about 15 kilometres from Palmi, visitors are welcomed by Bagnara Calabra. Warm and sunny, this small town is considered the gem of the Costa Viola crown, thanks to the beauty of its large beach and crystal-clear sea, a favourite destination for many tourists every year. Despite modernity, Bagnara still preserves the soul of the old fishing village where fishing, specifically swordfish and tuna, is one of the main activities. A soul perfectly preserved in the glimpses of the historic Marinella district where the characteristic Torre Ruggiero from the 15th century is located in a dominant position. The historic centre with its little churches, the streets animated by the fishmongers and the typical restaurants where you can taste the cuisine linked to the best gastronomic maritime tradition in which the most important is the swordfish, but also the confectionary embellished by the superlative nougat made according the most rigorous artisan standards even today.
