Tourists renting
Tuscany villas in April and May will
have a golden opportunity to discover the area’s natural marvels – with special
emphasis on its stunning natural parks – by partaking in the 2012 Tuscan Coast & Islands
Walking Festival.
This year’s edition, the fourth
overall, has kicked off on the 6th of April, and will be ongoing until May 6. It
will be divided into two main segments, both worth a venture outside one of the
many Tuscany villas on offer.
The bulk of the event will centre around the myriad idyllic
islands bordering Tuscany and Corsica. Boasting a fascinating geological
history, plenty of hiking opportunities, and surrounded by a whale and dolphin
sanctuary, this beautiful National Park will no doubt tickle the fancy of every
nature aficionado. The virtues of the Tuscan Archipelago, and its remarkably
personable islands, have long been extolled, and this event will give curious
parties the opportunity of experiencing the area’s charms first-hand.
But while the islands are the month’s main attraction, they
are far from the only natural marvel highlighted by this festival. In the week
of 21st to 27th April, attentions will shift to Val di Cornia, a mainland
valley closely linked to the Etruscan civilisation. Being the westernmost
outpost of the territory occupied by this Italian tribe, Val di Cornia retains
a rich geological, archaeological and cultural heritage, easily enough to
entice history buffs out of their Tuscany villas to explore the five municipalities which make up this
natural park.
So, if you are a nature, hiking, or history enthusiast
visiting Tuscany this spring, and you want to get away from the throng of
tourists hiring Tuscany villas at all times of the year, the 2012 Tuscan Walking Festival
may well be the getaway you have been yearning for!
