2^nd Day: The Argentina Valley – Triora and Taggia

 

Morning guided transfer to Triora, city of… witches!  This is not a legend, but rather documented history, as the museum dedicated to this topic will explain.  Visit the Ethnographic and Witches Museum, where you can see 4 rooms where 13 women where accused of witchcraft in 1558.  The section of the museum dedicated to ethnography shows tools used by the local farms in their everyday lives.

In the afternoon, visit the historical city center of Taggia where you can linger amongst its characteristic streets and arches.  The San Domenico Convent deserves to be photographed before you take a walk among the characteristic shops to buy typical cookies from Taggia – “canestrelli and anicini”.  Return to hotel, dinner and overnight stay.

3^rd Day: Nervia Valley – Dolceacqua and Apricale

In the morning, guided transfer to Dolceacqua, pearl of the Nervia Valley: a lovely medieval village that is made more beautiful by its ancient humpback bridge and the ruins of the Doria castle.  Among the artisanal shops you will discover the true nectar of the Riviera: “Rossese di Dolceacqua”, prized red wine with an intense flavour.  At the lunch hour, visit the cantina of the Gajaudo family, where you can taste the full line of wines from the Riviera, paired with the valley’s tasty specialities.  In the afternoon, visit the medieval village of Apricale, perched on the alpine peaks with its narrow streets (maximum 10 meter bus), where you will be able to taste typical Italian Riviera snacks: “pansarole” with “zabaione”.  Alternatively, you can visit La Pigna where you can admire the medieval village’s architectural monuments.  Return to hotel and overnight stay.

4^th Day: Old San Remo

In the morning, visit the historical city center of San Remo, called “La Pigna”, which still maintains it’s charm as a medieval village. This allows visitors to discover the original San Remo that is made up of steep narrow streets, arches and buttresses, and hidden quiet piazzas.  At the top of the old village sits the Madonna della Costa sanctuary, protector of sailors.  At the end of your visit, return home.
