April 30, 2025,Da Sulmona a Scanno (S 39)

I leave Sulmona at 2:30 PM after lunch at the park.
The temperature is almost 34 degrees and I am forced to stop for an hour in Bugnara.
In Aversa degli Abruzzi a guy offers me a ride in his car to Scanno but I refuse.
Scanno has become too touristy. Hotels and prices skyrocket...
