Grado ..

is a wonderful town,
full of history.

The roots of of Grado,  go back 1,500 years,
and the history is told through the
Roman-era churches and narrow, stone streets.

It has a modern town with a historic centre and although tiny,
, the little medieval quarter is the most charming part of Grado.
With lanes and courtyards, like a maze.
The old fishermen's houses are clustered together ,
almost on top of each other, with pretty squares and little bars and restaurants.




You had to have eyes looking everywhere ..
so much to take in!!

I will be back with more soon, but work calls
and then off to London to meet up with Leesa!!

Hope you enjoy the little tour.

  7. Wonderful photos - very atmospheric. I liked the one of the steps. I like taking photos like that, or of side streets. Hope all is well with you and that you are enjoying this wonderful weather that we are having at the moment.

  8. Italy is a fantastic country. I never came further east there than Venice, but I see that I have missed a region!
