CAPO
VATICANO.
The rocky promontory of Capo Vaticano is located in
the town of Ricadi (VV)
At short distance from Tropea, on the tip of the
beautiful promontory between the gulfs of Lamezia
Terme and Gioia Tauro arises in the Tirreno southern
that lengthens towards the Eolie is Capo Vaticano, one
of the most beautiful place of the province vibonese.
Capo Vaticano, which falls within the territory of the
municipality of Ricadi, can boast a sea of colors and
transparency incredible, and coasts of rare beauty:
immediately after Tropea there are the white beaches
of the bays of Riaci and Formicoli, whose shoulders
you silhouetted on a terrace of tufa, the small hamlet
of Santa Sunday Ricadi; more, continuing southward,
here there are the beaches of Torre Marino, Torre
Ruffa, Tono and Tonicello, and then, overlooking the
sea, the beautiful cliffs of Praia di Fuoco, full of
caves and pretty coves, often accessible only by boat
or pedal.
Here, where the steep rocky spurs fall to peak from a
height of over 100 meters, just behind the hamlet of
St. Nicolo of Ricadi, stands a lighthouse, whose light
and' visible from a distance of 23 miles. Going more
far where the slope is more softly, there are the
charming bay Grotticelle, and Santa Maria, with the
typical fishing village.
Beautiful finally, the seabed, where the game currents
that cross off, coming from two gulfs, protects and
nurtures a botanical heritage among the most varied
and rich of the peninsula, we can call it the eighth
wonder.
The tourism of Capo Vaticano.
The emigration has gradually depopulated this
territory and wars have destroyed many young lives,
and there is a big feel to restart to build a
environment welcoming and prosperous. So on a country
peasant civilization went growing a generation of
small traders, engaged in services, which led obvious
mutations in the structures, in the costumes, as well
as in economic activities which in recent decades have
developed mainly around tourism.. The old country of
Ricadi is today a well-equipped modern town that
values its natural position and tied with its
fractions with fervent initiatives seeking to exploit
some of the past with new knowledge and new
opportunities of work and productivity. ( "Tourism is
not only do diving, admire landscapes, monuments,
city. And 'also come into contact with peoples and
civilizations other than ours, understanding and,
possibly, loving ." Giuseppe Berto).
