A festival of love in lovely Maresca, with beautiful women and fresh water. (ENG/ESP)💖💖💖

in Worldmappinlast month

Good morning, blog friends, how are you? Today I'm taking you with me to one of the loveliest festivals in the Pistoia mountains, the Festival of Love in Maresca. Maresca is a town in the Pistoia mountains famous for the saying, which I translated into English in the title, although it doesn't quite translate, so I'll write it in Italian: "Maresca, beautiful women and fresh water." Besides that, Maresca is known for the quality of its air and water and for its long history, especially linked to the Second World War. It's also a wooded area with a beautiful forest called the Teso Forest.

It's a popular holiday destination, with many people from the city coming here for the summer, and it's precisely in the summer that this mountain town comes alive with various festivals, fairs, and celebrations. Something happens in this town about every weekend. My friends and I, looking for some relief from the heat, decided to head to Maresca. For the occasion, they were celebrating the Feast of Love, dedicated to love in all its forms, a sort of Valentine's Day on a grand scale. As soon as we arrived, we saw that there was already a large crowd and various stalls selling food, crafts, and drinks. The main square was already decorated with flags, heart-shaped decorations, and rainbow flags.

Buenos días, amigos del blog, ¿qué tal? Hoy os llevo a uno de los festivales más bonitos de la sierra de Pistoia: el Festival del Amor en Maresca. Maresca es un pueblo de la sierra de Pistoia famoso por el dicho, que traduje al inglés en el título, aunque no se traduce del todo, así que lo escribiré en italiano: "Maresca, mujeres hermosas y agua fresca". Además, Maresca es conocida por la calidad de su aire y agua, y por su larga historia, especialmente vinculada a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. También es una zona boscosa con un hermoso bosque llamado el Bosque de Teso.

Es un destino vacacional popular, con mucha gente de la ciudad que viene aquí en verano, y es precisamente en verano cuando este pueblo de montaña cobra vida con diversos festivales, ferias y celebraciones. Casi todos los fines de semana hay algo especial. Mis amigos y yo, buscando un respiro del calor, decidimos ir a Maresca. Para la ocasión, celebraban la Fiesta del Amor, dedicada al amor en todas sus formas, una especie de San Valentín a lo grande. Nada más llegar, vimos que ya había una gran multitud y varios puestos de comida, artesanías y bebidas. La plaza principal ya estaba decorada con banderas, adornos en forma de corazón y banderas arcoíris.

Then we began exploring the streets beyond the square, known for the occasion as the Vicoli dell'amore (Alleys of Love). These charming little historic alleys are adorned with a variety of colorful decorations all related to love, including statues and drawings by local artists—a truly charming sight.

Then we continued along the town's main street, decorated with colorful clothes lines—truly creative and fun! We grabbed a drink and explored the town center, wandering the colorful streets until evening. Finally, hungry, we stopped at a local pizzeria called DoDo, which truly surprised us with its special elongated pizzas and extensive menu. We ate some excellent pizzas, I had the one with eggplant and buffalo mozzarella, and they were all delicious. We spent a truly pleasant evening in the mountains, and the Festival of Love was truly delightful, making the town even more beautiful and magical!

Luego comenzamos a explorar las calles más allá de la plaza, conocidas para la ocasión como los Vicoli dell'amore (Callejones del Amor). Estos encantadores callejones históricos están adornados con una variedad de coloridas decoraciones relacionadas con el amor, incluyendo estatuas y dibujos de artistas locales: ¡una vista realmente encantadora! Después continuamos por la calle principal del pueblo, decorada con coloridos tendederos: ¡realmente creativo y divertido!

Tomamos algo y exploramos el centro, paseando por las coloridas calles hasta la noche. Finalmente, con hambre, paramos en una pizzería local llamada DoDo, que nos sorprendió con sus especiales pizzas alargadas y su extensa carta. Comimos unas pizzas excelentes; yo pedí la de berenjena y mozzarella de búfala, y todas estaban deliciosas. Pasamos una tarde realmente agradable en las montañas, y el Festival del Amor fue una delicia, ¡haciendo que el pueblo fuera aún más hermoso y mágico!
