I'm at the Monte Amiata, between Val D'Orcia and valleys of Paglia and Fiora. It is so awesome I've been shocked. From what I've heard, is the highest mountain in Tuscany. It has about 1,700 meters altitude and is a volcano which last erupted in produced about 180,000 years ago. At the base are the sources of hot thermal water, with a lot of healing properties that supply known seaside resorts that are in the vicinity. The lower slopes are full of chestnut and beech, and the top is covered with dark forests. That contrast of colorful mountain gives the indescribable beauty. From spring to autumn, is ideal for walking, list of department stores relaxing or hiking. In winter it is covered with snow and its slopes become a renowned ski resort, fully equipped, which have a wonderful day. In addition, forests produce an exquisite honey, which adds another culinary medal won by the many other Tuscany. I could not resist and I bought a few jars. On the eastern list of department stores slopes of Monte Amiata a small medieval town called San Salvatore Abbadia stands. Takes its name from an ancient list of department stores abbey, in the eighth century, became a fief of the Benedictine monks, who exercised their enormous power for centuries in both the citadel and other surrounding towns. But apparently, in the thirteenth century were turning the tables and the Benedictines were to see them come ... The coveted fortified city was the subject of disputes, fights and battles between the feudal list of department stores lords of Tuscany and nearby Umbria, moving seamlessly from one hand to another, until in the VXI century, the Medici list of department stores were. The 7.ooo near San Salvatore Abbadia inhabitants enjoy a good standard of living and the town is perfectly preserved. Its historic center is a hive of streets and alleys with medieval, Gothic and Renaissance buildings. What's surprising is that you never know what you'll find around the corner. It can be a lovely list of department stores little church Romanesque or Gothic building with tiny windows and a beautiful list of department stores panorama of the surrounding countryside. Anyway, I've gone from surprise to surprise. Something like if you do a lot of gifts and opening different boxes, you were discovering the most beautiful and unexpected things. At the end of my long walk downtown I went to visit the famous abbey, which was rebuilt in Romanesque style in the eleventh century. Then, when the citadel was taken over by the Medici, the cruise ship was updated according to the style of the time. Inside there is a large and rich collection list of department stores of works of art from various historical periods and down is a superb crypt with about 40 columns with carved capitals splendid. While taking a snack, accompanied by a few glasses of delicious Rosso di Montalcino (had the naming Castello Banfi !, so you can imagine how I remembered the friends who accompanied me to the castle) the friendly waitress I has treated me has been telling this city preserves list of department stores intact a lot of old traditions, among which a party held on Christmas Eve and that is that the locals, as well as people who are on vacation here or in the Monte Amiata, parade torches lit up around the city. Then the fire of the torches light a series of bonfires and sing carols. Apparently, this custom have been maintained for over a thousand years ago. I have taken good note of it on the agenda, to come here at Christmas. I go with the torch and what I have caroling clear. With a little luck, I encourage you to skiing and a great step, away from consumerism and congestion of big cities list of department stores Christmas. Sylvia.
