Abruzzo: A Feast for the Senses 13-day tour from 29 Aug - 10 Sept 2012

Experience Abruzzo's authentic culture, traditions & festivals, gastronomic delights, heritage & unspoilt beauty

The Grand Tour - well worth watching.

On the weekend I viewed this TV series, The Grand Tour, on DVD (available from Council libraries if you live in Brisbane). The series, produced by the BBC, gives a wonderful insight into how Italian architecture of the time of Palladio, Brunelleschi and Michelangelo influenced British architecture. Highly recommended.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for this - Ah the little red fiat and the unsuitable women - it looks good! I watch Kevin McCloud all the time on Grand Designs. I will try to get a copy in preparation for my own Grand Tour that starts in November.
