Cetara and the colatura di alici
The last working fishing village on the Coast still makes the Romans' garum, now under a different name.
Where to buy and eat
Nettuno or Iasa, both Cetara producers, sell bottles for €15–25. Eat spaghetti alla colatura at Acqua Pazza on the harbour — the dish that taught everyone outside the village what colatura is.
Cetara has no real beach for tourists; the town turns its back on the sea and faces the work boats. That's the appeal.
