Imperia - Weekending on the Ligurian Coast...


This is November on the Ligurian Coast in Italy - just a short train ride away from Nice and the French Riviera. Imperia is a beautiful resort consisting of two distinct old towns Porto Maurizo and Oneglio linked by none other than Mussolini into the Imperia of today.....originially planned as his HQ to take over N.Africa...and the rest of the world...


Today Imperia is a beautiful location for a relaxing weekend as it has small sea-view hotels, scenic harbours, cosy trattorias, and in November an olive oil festival accompanied by gourmet food stalls and special menus on offer from local restaurants amidst a vibrant and friendly atmosphere...


And what's more there is a string of such lovely places along this stretch of the Ligurian Coast....What are you waiting for?

Ah, looks like the perfect place to me, Catherine!! Have to admit I'm a tad envious!! But so happy you're able to enjoy such lovely places!! I'd say better than Mexico -- although I do love Mexico, too!
