The tour will take you to discover the most evocative views between Sanremo and Bajardo. We will travel along an easy trail immersed in the almost uncontaminated nature along which you can admire Bajardo from a unique perspective, but also Apricale and Perinaldo lied down on the crests of the ligurian mountains. Once in Bajardo we will visit the village where those who wish can have lunch. Once recharged, we will return to the starting point following the same route, which now offers new views and emotions. What I propose is not just a wonderful tour into the nature, it is a journey into the authentic heart of western Liguria, that heart made up of isolated villages that are a little reluctant to become a tourist destination but loved by the locals. I propose to accompany you not only as a qualified cycling guide, but also to make you experience, with stories and anecdotes linked to personal history, the essence of the local feeling.
