Cattolica – A heaven for family
By Eeke Helder
Greeting from Cattolica
I severely dislike tourist holiday places and especially when everything is prepared to the comfort of the lazy tourist. This year I sadly promised a friend to accompany her with both our kids (4) on her holiday. ‘Sadly’ because she decided to go to Cattolica, a small typical tourist town on the Adriatic coast of Italy. Like the Torremolinos or Salou of Italy. I never went on a holiday with less enthusiasm. I pictured rows of tourist beds and umbrellas up to the shoreline, shouting kids , roaming jets ski’s polluting your swim water and everything else that you can expect of overcrowded holiday places. But overcoming my prejudice and my initial shock after arriving I had to come to the conclusion that all is not as it seems…
