[7] Casalbordino is particularly linked to the appearance of the so-called "Madonna dei Miracoli" which took place in 1576 in front of the peasant Alessandro Muzii, who prayed to the Virgin Mary during a storm to avoid destruction of his farm.

[8] The pilgrimage and devotion soon crossed the Casalese border, and extended throughout Abruzzo, so much so that at the time of D'Annunzio, the turnout had reached considerable proportions, during the days of 10 and 11 June.

The economy of the place is mainly agricultural (olive trees and vineyards), but since the 19th-century, sacred tourism has been of considerable importance due to the presence of the sanctuary of the Miracles.

In recent times, seaside tourism is also flourishing, thanks to the presence of fine sand beaches named Lido di Casalbordino and the proximity of the Punta Aderci guided nature reserve.

[10] In the coastal municipal area, the so-called "hard" ones of Casalbordino are preserved, a protected natural place where the species of the fratino nests, also characteristic is the beach of Santo Stefano locality, on the border with the Osento river.
