Hiking in Liguria
parentheses after the winter snowshoeing, hiking season starts in full swing with the usual trip to Liguria.
trip to the beach .... but for yours truly begins with an avalanche of backpacks ... I rain down on me from all directions while I'm randomly in the bus luggage compartment. The wall of backpacks almost imprison me but I want to assure all participants in the tour: I have not traveled in the boot, but I managed to come up with a maneuver worthy of Houdini.
Calice Ligure From the square of the long snake of people begin their journey, split between short and long route around.
The landscape is very different from what we usually see going to the mountains and for once it is pleasant to feast his eyes, contemplating the horizon boundless sea. Also we can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere of navy, made up of unique fragrances and a unique and varied vegetation, which by the way gives us a vast repertoire of shapes and colors.
At sea there is more water than the lake, but for one day this certainty is distorted: in fact the telephone calls come from as a reference of torrential rain, while we all enjoy a nice sun has with us for almost the entire walk.
But the hike, in addition to beautiful scenery, we can appreciate its artistic and architectural jewels.
Among the most impressive for sure we are the Church of Our Lady of Loreto or five towers, located near the end of our walk, and then locker Castel and Castel San Giovanni, with its watchtowers suspended almost overhanging the country, there welcomes Finalborgo.
But you can not forget the Church of San Rocco, albeit in poor condition, retains the charm of its unique triangular bell tower and the little Church of San Carlo, almost hidden in the dense vegetation.
It seems a work of art, not only of architecture, houses with walls of stone scattered among the terraces carved out of the hills: from foot of the Rock of Perti, looking on the opposite side of the valley, he seems almost to be in a crib to full size.
From Castel San Giovanni, the last Finalborgo descent brings us to where we are greeted by music from the exotic rhythm: we think perhaps the last traces of the invasions of the Moors, who over the centuries had seen its protagonists coasts Liguria.
The remarkable advance of schedule allows us to turn the heart of the beautiful medieval village.
will not believe if I tell you that I met a lot of touring Finalborgo Como, and perhaps also to some of you is The same thing happened ..... I think there was any organized tour.
addition to appreciating the architectural beauty and history, there is also the time to cater for the noblest and highest aspirations of the human soul, eating a delicious ice cream, drink coffee, a drink or better still good glass of white wine from Liguria and ... lighten the "conscience" before returning on the bus.
The return trip is particularly quiet, perhaps due to the first heat, or perhaps because (traveling on a double decker) were the most attentive and concerned, they saw no one driving the plane above.
