Lonely town

Once Castellammare had a population of about 24 thousand people but with emigration and low fertility rate, it has now about 15 thousand inhabitants. In the summer, the population reaches about 80 thousand and the place really rocks. But when  the great part of the tourists leave with only a handful of more adventurous remaining and with a large part of the population living in modern elevator apartments at the outskirts, the centro storico or the old part get really lonely at times. I live in this old area and really do enjoy the peace and quiet. Of course the tourists begin to come  again back like the swallows  every spring and the place gets crazy once more,
