And then you think of Tuscany. What do you see in front of you? Mountains, yellow stone houses, vines on the hillsides as far as the eye can see? Sure, that's the image of Tuscany as we know it. But did you know that there is another part of Tuscany that is a little less known and therefore not as well visited by tourists but just as lovely. Let me tell you about the coastal provinces of Grosseto and Livorno - another part of Tuscany.<\/p><div class=\"sharethis-buttons\"><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"twitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/twitter.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Tweet<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"facebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/facebook.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Share<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"linkedin\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/linkedin.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Share<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"pinterest\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/pinterest.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Pin<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"reddit\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/reddit.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Share<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"digg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/digg.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Share<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6ad71d994d18b\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6ad71d994d18b\" checked aria-label=\"toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2022\/12\/toscana-grosseto-livorno\/#Om_Toscana_och_Etruskerna\" >About Tuscany and the Etruscans<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2022\/12\/toscana-grosseto-livorno\/#Provinsen_Grosseto_i_Toscana_%E2%80%93_Castiglione_della_Pescaia\" >Province of Grosseto in Tuscany -

The name Tuscany derives from one of the most mythical peoples, the Etruscans. A people whose heyday was around 3,000 years ago and whose origins are still not entirely clear, despite the abundance of remains in writings, graves and artefacts. However, the thesis that most people now agree on is that they were an indigenous people from the Roman Empire. But we leave that unsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Etruscan Empire was also called Etruria, which later became Tuscia. However, Etruscans in Latin were called etrusci or tusci. Et voila - there we have Tuscany. In addition to the most natural things - food and wine - the historical legacy of the Etruscans is something they are very proud of and which permeates everyday life in both Grosseto and Livorno. Not least in the way they still grow and produce the famous wine. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-2793382557\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-483830817 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-4218239282\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-2372557119\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider483830817 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-483830817\" );$freedslider483830817.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider483830817.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider483830817.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider483830817.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider483830817.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we will focus on what we don't already know as well and associate with the area.

anecdote in this context is that not far from here is the Swedish-owned holiday village of Riva del Sole. The resort was built by Swedish RESO (Reso AB) between 1958 and 1960. Riva del Sole is still entirely Swedish-owned, but has an international audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.turismocastiglionedellapescaia.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about Castiglione della Pescaia here<\/a><\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banners-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-1962946238\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-2559272779\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/produkt\/hybrid-traveller-portabel-5g-router-med-backup-batteri-i-over-6-timmar-usb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"freedom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/freedom.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"288\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-naturreservatet-diaccia-botrona-i-castigilone-della-pescaia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Naturreservatet_Diaccia_Botrona_i_Castigilone_della_Pescaia\"><\/span>The Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve in Castigilone della Pescaia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just outside Castiglione della Pescaia is the Diaccia Botrona nature reserve, known to be a place where migrating birds from both north and south stop on their way for winter or summer rest. It is not unthinkable that I could see the same birds as at home in \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland and at T\u00e5kern here in Tuscany. But this time it is a completely different species that fascinates me. A pink flamingo from Africa. Never would I have thought that it was in Tuscany that I would see a living flamingo for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reserve covers over 1000 hectares and is one of the most important wetlands in Italy. But the species you can see here are in many cases more exotic than in our northern latitudes. From ospreys, marsh hawks, herons, wild geese and ducks to foxes, otters, hedgehogs, turtles and tree frogs.<\/p><div class=\"freed-placering-11 freed-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"freed-1282489354\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88783\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-3648403957 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-1230456386\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husvagnsbranschen.se\/medlemmar\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"HRF new xl 2026-9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-490174772\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/r02\/___https:\/www.kabe.se\/se\/nyheter\/kabe-roadshow-2026\/___.YzJlOmthYmU6YzpvOmVkZTIyYjJkNTMxZTZkZjM1YWVhOTViM2NkZTIxMzBlOjc6NDMyYTozYTBkNmIzNGEyZDExNmUyY2ZhYWU3MGNkNzExYmE4ZDUzNjRmYzI5NjgwOTNhNTk5MmZlZDQ2ZTVlNTA3NmVkOmg6VDpO\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"oaddtrip Kabe\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider3648403957 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-3648403957\" );$freedslider3648403957.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider3648403957.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider3648403957.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider3648403957.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider3648403957.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exotic to us northerners, however, is another species that is thankfully now extinct in the area - the mosquito that spread malaria. Diaccia Botrona was once a huge lake dating back to Etruscan times. It covered the entire area between Grosseto and the coast, but has since dried up over the centuries and turned into more of a swamp. In the 15th century, malaria ravaged the swamp area, leaving neighbouring towns deserted during the summer when people had to flee. For a long time it was also not known that mosquitoes were the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-casa-rossa-diaccia-botrona-i-castigilone-della-pescaia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Casa_Rossa_Diaccia_Botrona_i_Castigilone_della_Pescaia\"><\/span>Casa Rossa Diaccia Botrona in Castigilone della Pescaia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As time went on, the causes of the disease were understood and from the 17th century to the 20th century the land was drained and water removed in an attempt to combat malaria mosquitoes. As part of this endeavour, drainage and water flow gates were built in what today is what meets us as a stately gateway to the nature reserve - Casa Rossa. Now a museum but at the time an important technique for controlling drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A visit to the museum is highly recommended, we meet a very committed and knowledgeable guide and get the entire exciting history of the reserve and the many legends associated with the area to life, while from the top floors we get a magical view of the fantastic and unique wildlife. In the area there are several different hiking trails that we unfortunately do not have time to take part in this day and many also choose to experience the nature reserve on horseback.<\/p><div class=\"freed-stor-banner-plats-14 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-3561564209\"><div id=\"freed-slider-88782\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-157312375 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-3066043427\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale 588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-2251694963\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/husvagnar\/alpina\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-XL-588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider157312375 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-157312375\" );$freedslider157312375.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" );

We head for Massa Marittima, also in the province of Grosseto. Here we are met by our guide who introduces himself. I don't remember the name. Because the only thing I hear is archaeologist. A dream job for me. But being an archaeologist in Tuscany is almost like having star status in my opinion. And jokes aside. Of course I remember the name of our fantastic guide Matteo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fonti-dell-abbondanza-massa-marittima\">Fonti dell'Abbondanza - Massa Marittima<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We only have time to get out of the car before he takes us to the first attraction. A wall painting from the 13th century in a stately stone house with beautiful arches. It could have been any work of art, but there are several unique stories here. Let's take some photos. Climbing up the ladder and looking at it from different angles. Then Matteo asks - Do you see what it represents? And then we see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_1-737x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_1-737x1024.jpg 737w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_1-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_1-768x1067.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_1-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_1-234x325.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_1-600x833.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_1.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"905\" data-id=\"192587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_2.jpg 679w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_2-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_2-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_2-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For obvious reasons they have chosen to call the painting The Fertility Tree and here, of course, the story could have ended and been quite funny. But it is much stranger and cooler than that. Until the early 2000s, this was a car park. When some kind of remodelling was about to take place, the paintings were discovered behind the plaster and when they investigated further they found 3 large pools under the ground where the cars had been parked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further exploration then revealed underground passages in the rock where fresh water had been collected and stored in the three basins. Everything had been shrouded in darkness behind plaster and parked cars for almost a thousand years until very recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192588\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_3-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_3-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_3-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_3.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_4-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_4-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_4-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_4-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_4.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it doesn't end here. The small town of Massa Marittima has more to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The square in Massa Marittima is big. Almost unreal big for the size of the city. And another thing that is unique is that it is asymmetrical. Here in the square we also find the gigantic Roman cathedral, San Cerbone, which was built in the 11th century. The stairs up to the cathedral are also well worth a study in how they are built to disappear into the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_3-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_3-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_3-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_3.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_4-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_4-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_4-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_4-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_4.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the top of the stairs you have a magical view of the square in Massa Marittima and the cathedral itself is also a masterpiece. It is said that at one point in history, however, it underwent extensive changes between Gothic and Roman styles. The roof needed to be raised and the cathedral made more majestic. So they simply raised the pillars on which the church rested. You can't have much to complain about Roman building techniques, that's for sure. Don't miss the magical marble piece in the cathedral. Carved from a single block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_1-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_1-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_1-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_1.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_2-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_2-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_2-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is unclear what can be considered the highlight of the visit to Massa Marittima, but if I make it easy for myself and count pure altitude metres, it is our visit to Torre del Candeliere - the old main tower of the fortress built in 1228. This would be the trip when I challenged several of my fears.

But what makes it so unique? Well, it is the only one of the Etruscan cities built next to water. Water was considered dangerous and unsafe at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we start with a slightly more recent monument. Perched high on a hill, the Castello de Populonia is surrounded by a stunning medieval cobbled town, with well-preserved 15th century houses, streets and alleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-8-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-8-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-8-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-8-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-8-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-8.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The town is home to churches, small shops, cafes and a museum full of Etruscan and Roman artefacts from both above ground and from the lake bed. If you are interested in archaeological finds and learning more about the intriguing Etruscan people, a visit to the Populonia Museum \"Mueso etrusco di populonia\" is highly recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_3-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_3-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_3-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_3.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is breathtaking to stand and look at pottery that is thousands of years old. But perhaps I am most fascinated by a small grater that has been found from that time. Imagine if you could sit in a little time machine and experience how it was used, if only for a little while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1-825x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1-825x1024.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1-768x953.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1-262x325.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1-600x745.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1.jpg 967w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_2-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_2-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_2-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-parco-archeologico-di-baratti-e-populonia-toscana\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parco_Archeologico_di_Baratti_e_Populonia_%E2%80%93_Toscana\"><\/span>Parco Archeologico di Baratti e Populonia - Tuscany<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the very oldest parts of the Etruscan settlement can be found some distance away in the archaeological excavations of the Parco Archeologico di Baratti e Populonia. The area covers more than 80 hectares and includes intriguing and well-preserved Etruscan tombs, sarcophagi and small stone houses and temples, built from local sandstone over the centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_1-433x325.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And here I challenge my second fear on this trip when, with just a little hesitation, I bend down and almost crawl into a 3000-year-old Etruscan burial mound. The entrance is very low and contains several smaller chambers, but when you \"crawl\" through and enter the centre, you can stand up again. Standing inside an ancient tomb was not the physical highlight of the trip but definitely the mental highlight for yours truly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-11 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_2-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_2-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_2-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_3-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_3-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_3-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_3.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The height of the dome of the tomb itself shows how skilful the Etruscans were at building and counting.

A village that can be traced back to the year 1075. And perhaps this is where I first recognise myself in what I think of as Tuscany. The town's cobbled streets are buzzing with local atmosphere and exude that Italian feel. I'm getting ahead of myself now, but when we find a gelateria after dinner and buy the first gelato of the trip, we ask the lady behind the ice cream freezer what flavour she recommends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bolgheri ti amo she says - brings her fingertips to her mouth and smacks them in a delighted kiss. A bit like in a film. A little too good to be true and with such love for both the flavour and the small town that we had to try it. If it was good - guess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-13 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_1-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_1-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_1-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_1.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"192620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2-626x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2-626x1024.jpg 626w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2-184x300.jpg 184w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2-199x325.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2-600x981.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2.jpg 734w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_3-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_3-244x325.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_3-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_3.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before that we had a lovely lunch in a cosy restaurant, located in the square of Bolgheri.
