Palmi

Overlooking an authentic natural terrace, with the protective and constant presence of Monte Sant’Elia, Palmi is reflected in the Tyrrhenian Sea immersed in a natural landscape in the context of unparalleled beauty, offering the eye the privilege of reaching as far as Sicily and the Aeolian islands. It includes an appreciated seaside resort, which finds its emblems in the famous "scoglio dell'ulivo" located in the locality of Tonnara and in the beach of Rovaglioso (Porto Oreste), a natural cove included among the most beautiful in Italy by Legambiente, this town owes its name to the many palm trees present throughout the centuries in the territory. What makes this location even more interesting is the rich gastronomic tradition, which, together with the typical Mediterranean influences, combines succulent first courses such as "pasta china" (oven baked pasta full of various ingredients) or the "struncatura with anchovies and toasted breadcrumbs" and then, of course, swordfish, silver scabbardfish, and stock fish. Among the prominent events, the festival in honour of the Madonna della Lettera is very important, characterised by the evocative procession of the "Varia", a votive machine carried by the faithful along the streets of the town.
