Today again we headed for the hills out of Finale this time on the west side of the city up to Verezzi, yet another Borgo più bello d’Italia. This one is very well preserved, maybe the best we’ve seen, and not very busy, maybe because it is a bit hard to get to up a steep switchback road. There was a small outdoor concert area within it also which would have been fun but no performance until after we’ve left.
Then we headed a bit farther up into the hills through a few more towns and beautiful hilly countryside. A lovely ride. ☺️
We finished the loop at Finalborgo which is the medieval part of Finale Ligure also very interesting although not a special classification like some of the others.
We spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach and swimming in the Mediterranean as it’s the last chance before heading back home.
We had a delicious dinner of tagliatelle in the old centre, mine with porcini mushrooms and George’s with cinghiale (wild boar).
How to stay cool when it’s cooking out
All set up for a show; great to see these spaces in use. And the local postie’s scooter.
Warning! If your gloves are being held together by salt and grime don’t wash them.

The view back down the coast; there are a lot of people clinging to this coastline.
