Each afternoon you can depart from and return to Bussana, the most populous community of the Flower City. The first stage is Bussana Nuova, where the Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was built as a symbol of rebirth after the earthquake of 1887, which caused the complete destruction and abandonment of the medieval village. Going up about 3 kilometers, you reach Bussana Vecchia, home to a community of International Artists since the 1960\u2019s. Sculptors, painters and musicians, Italian and foreign, have repopulated the town and today you can walk around viewing the various workshops.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can choose to visit the villages of Triora in the Argentina Valley, or Dolceacqua or Apricale in the Nervia Valley. All three locations are rated as \u201corange flag\u201d, the mark of eco-environmental quality of the \u201cItalian Touring Club\u201d. Triora is known as the \u201cTown of Witches\u201d because of the famous \u201cwitch trials\u201d held there at the end of the 16th century against several local women. You\u2019ll be able to visit the “Cabotina”, the cottage where the witches gathered, and also the Ethnographic Museum of Witchcraft, to see the testimonies of the culture and historical events. Local products include souvenirs made of slate, extracted from local quarries and considered highest quality, and also the bread of Triora. Also worth a look is the impressive bridge of Loreto on the deep gorge of the river Argentina.<\/p>\n

In the Nervia Valley, you shouldn\u2019t miss the picturesque village of Dolceacqua. The remains of its medieval castle and beautiful humpbacked bridge leave an unforgettable picture. The \u201cMichette\u201d are the traditional bread of the peasant people dating back to the days when the young brides were subject to the \u201cright of the first night\u201d by the feudal lord. Don\u2019t miss the signature \u201cLigurian Rabbit\u201d dish of the typical trattorias and enjoy a great glass of wine like the \u201cRossese\u201d from Dolceacqua. Also, not to miss are the traditional fireworks of August culminate in the \u201cBurning of the castle\u201d ceremony. The town of Apricale is perched just a short distance up in the valley and is known as \u201cThe town of murals.\u201d In the summer, many tourists come for a theatrical production called the \u201cCough of Genoa\u201d which takes place in the alleys and squares, and also the festival of “Pansarole”, a diamond-shaped soft dough, fried and flavored with sugar and anise and served with eggnog.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”offertacol wow fadeInRight” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1537263000624{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%230c5dac” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1537263087700{margin-left: 10px !important;}”]
