A day in Crapolla

Category:Blog,Outdoors,Places,Travel Tags : 

Crapolla è una località marina del paese di Torca, frazione di Massa Lubrense. Affaccia sul golfo di Salerno a poca distanza dalla rinomata Positano. Il fiordo si insinua nel Monte di Torca, dove sorgono una torre antisaracena e i resti dell’abbazia di San Pietro.

Il Fiordo di Crapolla a Massa Lubrense è certamente tra le più suggestive insenature della Penisola Sorrentina, un luogo che custodisce un ricco patrimonio storico e naturalistico.

Cosa fare in un giorno a Crapolla

Il fiordo di Crapolla è raggiungibile esclusivamente a piedi partendo dalla piazzetta di Torca. Gli autobus SITA che raggiungono questa frazione partono da Sorrento, alcuni passano da Massa Centro prima di raggiungere Sant’Agata sui due golfi, quindi Torca. Per chi arriva in auto, c’è possibilità di parcheggio nelle strisce blu, nella piazzetta accanto alla Chiesa di San Tommaso Apostolo.

Il sentiero può essere intrapreso anche da Sant’Agata sui due Golfi, che dista solo un chilometro da Torca. Il percorso è di difficoltà elevata, ma ben tracciato. Prima di intraprenderlo, assicuriamoci di avere con noi abbondante acqua, cibo, un cappellino e scarpe da trekking.

Dopo un primo tratto tra i vicoletti del centro abitato, il sentiero si innesta su una vecchia mulattiera circondata dalla flora mediterranea.

Sentiero di Crapolla

Arrivati sul belvedere noto come “La guardia”, vi è una diramazione (tracciata con la fascia bianco-rossa) che prevede un percorso di ben 700 gradini che conducono al fiordo.

Il panorama

Sul versante di Positano si avvista l’arcipelago de Li Galli, che si lega al mito di Ulisse e delle sirene.

C’è poi Vetara, isolotto disabitato. Dista poche centinaia di metri lo Scoglio Isca, in passato abitato da Eduardo de Filippo, scelto come location del film È stata la mano di Dio di Paolo Sorrentino, il quale mostra le meraviglie della Penisola Sorrentina e della Costiera Amalfitana in scene solari, luminose e a tratti comiche.

Sul versante opposto si ammira il profilo di Punta Penna che delimita l’incantevole baia di Marina del Cantone.

La cappella e la spiaggia

Per fare una pausa dall’impegnativa passeggiata, lungo il sentiero che porta al fiordo si può visitare la Cappella di San Pietro, che si racconta sia stata edificata con le stesse pietre con cui era stata costruita la precedente Abbazia di San Pietro. Secondo la leggenda, quest’ultima sorgeva a sua volta sulle rovine di un antico tempio dedicato al dio Apollo e questo spiegherebbe il toponimo Crapolla.

Oltrepassata la cappella di San Pietro si giunge, finalmente, alla spiaggia. La spiaggia di Crapolla, in ciottoli, è anch’essa parte della Riserva Marina Protetta di Punta Campanella e solo in alcune ore del giorno è esposta al sole, mentre per gran parte della giornata resta in ombra.  

La spiaggia di Crapolla

La strata di ritorno è la stessa dell’andata, per cui consigliamo di evitare di percorrerla nelle ora più calde, soprattutto nei mesi estivi.

Hiking and the sea: paths to the beaches

Category:Blog,Outdoors,Places,Travel Tags : 

L’hiking è un’attività molto diffusa a Massa Lubrense e ci sono, in particolare, alcuni sentieri che vanno verso il mare, verso luoghi incantevoli e incontaminati. Parliamo di escursioni giornaliere che si svolgono su sentieri i cui itinerari non sono troppo complessi e richiedono un’attrezzatura minima.

Oltre 100 km di sentieri segnalati, paesaggi dai colori incredibili, calette nascoste e antiche viuzze tra i borghi sono alcuni dei motivi per cui Massa Lubrense è il luogo perfetto per passeggiare. La rete sentieristica gode di imperdibili e indimenticabili panorami sui due golfi di Napoli e Salerno.

Vediamo, quindi, quali sono i più bei sentieri che vanno verso il mare a Massa Lubrense.

Il fiordo di Crapolla

Il fiordo di Crapolla, una stretta e profonda spaccatura nella roccia che si insinua tra l’alta scogliera, da tenere in considerazione per svolgere hiking

È da non perdere il fiordo di Crapolla, un fiordo naturale che si trova a Torca, frazione di Massa Lubrense.

Si tratta di un’insenatura situata tra Recommone e Punta Taschiera che termina con una piccola, ma suggestiva, spiaggia in ciottoli, circondata da resti archeologici romani.

Fa parte dell’Area Marina Protetta di Punta Campanella e il mare è cristallino e incontaminato. Nei pressi della riva si può rimanere ammaliati da una flora e una fauna marina pregevolissima.

Per fare hiking in questa splendida zona di mare si consiglia di portare con sé cibo e abbondante acqua e di prediligere le ore meno calde, in quanto lungo il sentiero non ci sono molte zone d’ombra. In questo modo sarà possibile godere senza problemi dell’esperienza e del panorama mozzafiato.

Recommone

Vi è poi l’insenatura di Recommone che si trova fra la Marina del Cantone e il Fiordo di Crapolla ed è caratterizzata da scogli, sassolini bianchi e ghiaia. È un luogo perfetto per godersi il sole e il mare in una cornice rocciosa, per cui si suggerisce di portare con sé ciabatte adatte a camminare sui ciottoli.

Si tratta di un posto incantevole che può essere raggiunto in barca o a piedi da Marina del Cantone. Il percorso attraversa il promontorio di Sant’Antonio, con incantevoli viste sul mare, poi il sentiero attraversa una boscaglia fino a fiancheggiare un muro di contenimento prima che si apra alla vista la costa di Recommone.

Baia di Ieranto

Baia di Ieranto

La Baia di Ieranto si colloca in un’insenatura della costiera sorrentina e fa parte dell’incantevole paradiso di Massa Lubrense. È la perla dell’Area Marina Protetta ed è raggiungibile solo a piedi o in canoa.

Qui il mare è tra i più cristallini e la Baia è stata interessata da diversi interventi che nel corso degli anni hanno ripristinato l’originale macchia mediterranea col suo rosmarino, il mirto, l’euforbia e il ginepro.

Oggi Ieranto è riconosciuta Sito di Interesse Comunitario, incluso nell’Area Marina Protetta di Punta Campanella ed è un luogo ideale per tutti coloro che apprezzano il contatto con la natura più incontaminata grazie all’abbondantissima biodiversità.

Suggeriamo caldamente di provare l’esperienza di percorrere a piedi questi meravigliosi sentieri, lo sforzo di raggiungerli verrà ripagato dai panorami straordinari che incanteranno la vostra vista.

Category:Blog,Events,Festivals,Food,Places,Pro Loco Tags : 

To cheer the 47th edition of the now traditional Limoni in festa this year there will be the Neapolitan musical group Foja and the comedian Paolo Caiazzo.

At Largo Vescovado Saturday, July 8, in addition to the opening of the stands of typical specialties, local crafts and a tasting path whose protagonist is the lemon, to animate the night there will be Foja.

The Italian folk-rock band born in Naples will perform in the concert “Miracles and Revolutions”, their fourth album.

The collaborations and successes of the band

They collaborated with Clementino, Enzo Gragnaniello, Lorenzo Hengeller, Alejandro Romero, Davide Toffolo and Alessio Sollo.

Twelve years of music, three albums, live and performance of all kinds; we remember their famous review of “Yes I Know My Way” by Pino Daniele on the occasion of the award ceremony to the “God of Naples” Maradona.

Their music is made of tradition, rock and songwriting, aiming at language mergers and Latin sounds, but never forget the Neapolitan tradition.

So “Miracoli e Rivoluzioni” is a concert/show with two acts in which the Foja deal with issues related to the sentimental sphere and existential and social issues mixing tradition and musical modernity.

They have traveled around Italy for years treading prestigious stages always sold-out as that of the Royal Theatre of Saint Charles, the Arena Flegrea.

The group also performed in the courtyard of the Royal Palace of Capodimonte, the Royal Palace and Castel Sant’Elmo in Naples in front of an audience of over six thousand people.

They got the nomination for the best original song both to David di Donatello and Nastri d’Argento.

So do not miss their performance that will animate the evening of July 8 at 21.00 at the Limoni in festa in Massa Lubrense.

The hidden beaches of Massa Lubrense

Category:Outdoors,Places,Travel Tags : 

The Sorrento coast with its beautiful beaches and crystal clear seas is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in Italy. Some of these beaches, however, especially in the territory of Massa Lubrense, remain a jewel admired by few. These are isolated, poorly accessible or difficult to reach beaches that are able to give a dream experience. Let’s discover three of these secret and pristine beaches.

Fiordo di Crapolla

the hidden beaches of Massa Lubrense

Crapolla can be reached on foot from the hamlet of Torca, through a fascinating but challenging path where 700 stone steps lead to the beach. Every 50 steps there is a ceramic tile indicating the progressive numbering.

Along the path that leads to the inlet there is the small Chapel of Saint Peter, open to all visits, where every 29 June the faithful go on pilgrimage from Torca to celebrate Holy Mass. According to tradition, Saint Peter landed in Crapolla on his journey to Rome to Christianize the Sorrento Peninsula.

The small pebble beach is located in a narrow cove and is protected by a high cliff that keeps it in the shade for most of the day.

Baia di Ieranto

The Bay of Ieranto is located at the end of the Sorrento peninsula, just in front of the faraglioni of Capri. To reach it you start from Nerano, an ancient fishing village. The path is well signposted and starts near the village square. Its final part of the path consists of the “miners’ staircase”, used to reach the small beach overlooking Capri.

The route is quite tiring but the breathtaking view and the tranquility of the landscape, located in the middle of a protected area, repay the effort. During the hours of the day the beach is exposed to the sun without any shelter, so it is advisable to leave equipped. It is ideal for those who love to venture out and enjoy a day at sea, diving into one of the cleanest waters of the peninsula.

Cala di Mitigliano

Another of the hidden beaches of Massa Lubrense is the Cala di Mitigliano , a place of peace and calm characterized by its crystal clear waters. The beach, mainly in rock, is enclosed by high cliffs overlooking the sea. The path branches off from the one to Punta Campanella. It is a bit uncomfortable but not so strenuous, if faced with the right equipment.

The beach is sunny and the sound of waves hurling against the rock makes the atmosphere pleasant and relaxing.

Not only the beach but also the incredible view of the island of Capri are one of the reasons why everyone should visit the fantastic Cala di Mitigliano whose sea, when it is calm, gives the opportunity to snorkel and admire its underwater beauty. The landscape in which the cove is located and its path that runs through plants and shrubs typical of the Mediterranean maquis makes it one of the most beautiful beaches in the territory of Massa Lubrense together with the Bay of Ieranto.

Protected area of Punta Campanella

Among the municipalities to which the blue flag has been reconfirmed, the recognition of the FEE for 2022, there is Massa Lubrense, who got it for 15 consecutive years (2008-2022). This recognition is largely due to the hidden beaches of Massa Lubrense and the quality of their bathing waters. More generally, there is also talk of compliance with the criteria relating to sustainable land management, coastal belt maintenance and service efficiency.
