    It practically flows into the sea, it could be the shortest river in the world... it is the Surcioun.

    I know, you've never heard of it. Few people know him even among the people of Rimini.

    I'm Renata from the Hotel Villa Perazzini.

    When I accompany my hotel guests on walks, I particularly love seeing their amazed look when they find themselves in front of something they never thought they would see in Romagna.

    One of the things that creates the greatest amazement is the Survòun, an ancient source of fresh (drinking) water that flows on the Viserbella shoreline.

    Many stories and legends are linked to Survòun. Consider that, until the 1960s, water flowed in such abundance that it created the phenomenon of quicksand.

    Our grandparents and parents often told of times when the Surcioun was their "bogeyman". It was said that a farmer had been swallowed up by quicksand along with an entire ox cart on a foggy day. It was probably a story invented by the elders to keep the more reckless children away from this area.

    Today there is no longer any trace of the quicksand and the spring is a pleasant discovery for tourists who want to soak their feet for a regenerating foot bath. It's wonderful to dip your feet in freezing water and then warm them in the sea!
