Levanto and its bike trail: an amazing, unusual, awsome ride through the coastline

A bike trail from Levanto to Framura – what a surprise!

Biking through Liguria (let’s say the east part of Liguria or Riviera di Levante) isn’t so easy. Though the new bike/walking path from Levanto to Framura offers a good alternative and, well why not, a fair option for whom loves biking but not really climbing up the hills! Couple of years ago the old railroad section along the coast has been reopened and now you can enjoy an amazing and relaxing walk or bike tour through three towns: Levanto, Bonassola and Framura. The path is totally flat, about 10km long  and tourists have by time to time breathtaking seaviews through and at the end of every tunnel. Untouched and unspoiled beaches and bars give you the opportunity for a short break during your ride or promenade.

Discover Levanto with your private tour guide.

Next week in Monterosso the predominant color will be definitely the yellow of its lemons. As every year the small town of Cinque Terre is preparing for a festive day with stalls, theme kiosks and food stalls set up in the square and among its “alleyways”.
Tourists and locals can taste ligurian specialties produced with organic lemons from Monterosso including jams, cakes, freshly squeezed lemonade, limoncino and soft drinks.

In the city archives a document dating back to 1529 contains information regarding Francesco Bonaparte, who moved to Ajaccio to serve the Republic of Genoa. From his descendants Napoleon was born.  The City is tightly linked to the figure of the leader and his family will be repeatedly guest of Sarzana in several occasions.
