Devastated by an earthquake and abandoned, this unique medieval village has been reborn and is now inhabited by an international artists community.

It is a whole little authentic medieval village abandoned in 1894 after an earthquake and repopulated by artists in the '60. Ever since it is a secret tourist attraction. It is and exclusively walking area with stone streets and houses. You need good shoes. This romantic landscape consists in half ruins and half artists workshops, boutiques and residences. It has a big restaurant at the entrance and another smaller one in the middle as well as a coffee/bakery shop. It has a romantic atmosphere. You can spend between 1 and 4 hours there, depending how interested you are.

Great cycle path, which runs right next to the sea from Ospedaletti to San Lorenzo al Mare. Great for families and there are lots of places along the line renting bicycles and 4-seater pedal cars. Being an old railway line, it's almost completely flat and passes through tunnels along the route. It gets very busy in the summer, and the occasional 'peloton' pass along very quickly considering the amount of young kids so keep an eye out. Great restaurants in San Lorenzo, and brilliant ice creams at the gelateria in Arma di Taggia which is along the road, though the ice cream is a couple of minutes detour towards the seafront

It is hard to visit Sanremo without also going for a stroll through the pedestrianised main street, beautiful in day- and nighttime with all the lights. There is a decorative pattern of flagstones on the ground and the mostly traditional houses on the sides are no more than 3 or 4 storey high. Among the most prominent buildings on this street are the 'Ariston Theatre' and the 'Palazzo Borea d'Olmo', now housing the 'Museo Civico'. Begun in the middle of the 19th century the street was originally called the 'Strada Nuova', later named after king Vittorio Emanuele II. After WW II it was renamed - as so many streets in Italy - after Giacomo Matteotti, a socialist politician from the Veneto, who in 1924 as a socialist parlamentarian had held a strong speech against Benito Mussolini. A few days later he was abducted by 'Squadrati' (Blackshirts) and murdered outside Rome. It was the beginning of Mussolini's fascist reign. When walking through the Corso Matteotti one will constantly be reminded of winning songs of the famous Sanremo Music Festival, be it by bronze plaques, information boards or especially by illuminated letters high up on ropes.
