Chiavari in Liguria

Land masses continue to merge into the Mediterranean Ligurian Sea, no longer the Maritime Alps but the Appenine mountain range stretching from here down the long length of the peninsular of Italy. Italy's backbone which is a term I remember from school days. Drammatic landscapes with breezes off the sea sometimes switching from one direction to the other. Making distance is slow following every inlet but the modern day road and rail services have evened out connections between coastal towns. Many tunnels but still challenging. 

Chiavari is in Liguria which encompasses the Italian Riviera and has a truly Rennaissance style historic centre with many collonaded walkways perfect for ristorantes/tratorias to spill out into. The Citadella is a classic Rennaissance palace.

The sea front provides a wonderful view of the sun going down late afternoon.
