![]() When I think of visiting Spain in the summer holidays I generally picture beaches packed with sun loungers and umbrellas, all-inclusive hotels with kids clubs and streets lined with overflowing Irish bars. It’s a beautiful place to spend a day before heading toward the beach or back to the pool of your agriturismo. We parked on the outside of the city centre, along the top of the rock wall on a street lined with shady benches, which made for a picturesque and relaxing way to view the city. Known as “little Jerusalem”, the town of Pitigliano has a unique story for history buffs to learn about as well. ![]() At times we felt like the only travellers in the city and the kids loved being able to explore the streets without mom and dad grabbing their hands and worrying about losing them in a crowd. We explored small artisan shops, ate pizza outdoors under a shady tree with a view of the countryside, and cooled down with water from a public fountain, which the kids thought was so much fun. On a weekend in mid-July we wandered the streets of Pitigliano without a tour group in sight. Located between the western coast and the busier town of Orvieto, Pitigliano stands above the landscape seeming to emerge from rocks, known as ‘tufo’ in Italian. ![]() If you want to avoid the tour buses and overpriced souvenir stalls of the more famous ‘guide book cities’, head a bit further south to explore the town of Pitigliano.
