Palombaro is a mountainside village of less than 1000 people in the Chieti Region of Abruzzo.  The village stretches along a ridge in the Maiella Mountains in the Italian National Forest.  The mountains tower over one side of the village while the other side hangs over the valley which gives visitors a clear view of the Adriatic Sea 45 minutes away.  Around town, you will find a cafe, a smaller food market, a butcher, and a restaurant.
