Tropea is an intimate and friendly town and most of the locals watch the sunset from the Corso Vittorio Emmanuale, a street that meanders through town and encourages you to stop and have a cup of coffee or a cold drink at one of the many tiny cafés along the way. This is the best place to join in ‘la passeggiata’ - a long, slow walk for which Italians normally dress in their best outfits.
