Where we are: Finale Ligure |
|
Set in the heart of the Riviera delle Palme between Savona and Alassio,
Finale Ligure is one of the capitals of Ligurian
coastal tourism. An easy reach by car (enjoy the astounding beauty of the
Aurelia), train or bus, it features an efficient tourist information office.
The sea is everywhere, a murmur among cliffs and bays, a song of joy along
beaches of golden sand dotted by stabilimenti balneari. This is the Outdoor
Riviera, the ideal destination of 360° active holidays – a must for families
with children, and the right choice for sports&nature enthusiasts – not to
forget sailing aficionados.
The long-established tourist vocation is evident in the rich system of
accommodation facilities, composed by quality hotels (several hotels provide
private beach services, accessible also by the disabled), restaurants and
agriturismi.
Finale is made up by four separate centres: Finalmarina and Finalpia on the
coast and Finalborgo (a delightful Ali Baba’s cave plenty in art and culture
surrounded by proud city walls) in the first entroterra. Further east along the
seashore the Comune also includes the amazing borgo of Varigotti, a Saracen
jewel peopled by fishermen and bon vivants.
Museums and fortifications resound with the echo of the Prehistoric and Feudal
eras. In the late Middle Ages the independent Marchesi del Carretto, lords of
the area, were defeated by the powerful Republic of Genoa, which in the 15th
century destroyed Finalborgo in order to punish the rebel household, too close
to the political sphere of Piedmont and Lombardy.
LLet curiosity be your guide during your stay in
Finale: the carruggi of the historical centre of Finalmarina thrive in show
rooms and old-fashioned botteghe, the sea glimpsing amidst colourful palazzi.
The cloister of Santa Caterina in Finalborgo, a haven of shade and silence,
livens up on a multitude of cultural exhibitions, events and concerts. Beaches
are at the same time the paradise of relaxation and the temple of water
activities (from windsurfing to whale watching). The entroterra, anticipated by
a sequence of fortresses (do not miss the eccentric five bell towers church),
climbs up towards the beech forests of the Colle del Melogno: enjoy a visit to
Calice Ligure, for more than forty years a hideout of artists, and a hike in the
Mànie Plateau, the excursionist’s preference.
Last but not least, the area abounds in products and delicatessen: a cornucopia
offering the pleasure of fresh fish, olive oil, vegetables, wines (Lumassina and
Barbarossa), mushrooms and chestnuts (both from the woods of Calizzano and
Bardineto). Spring is the season of an important yearly food and wine expo
celebrating the best of Liguria in the cloister of Santa Caterina in Finalborgo. |
