Giorno 1 Dolceacqua
- Early afternoon arrival in Dolceacqua and time at leisure to visit this typical medieval village of the Nervia Valley, along the stream of the same name.

The more modern one, called Borgo, stretches out on the opposite bank, on either side of the road up the valley.
- Possibility to visit the interior of the Doria Castle, located in a dominant position and guardian of an ancient local history that is intertwined with the events of the ancient Maritime Republic of Genoa.
- At the end, tasting of a good glass of Rossese di Dolceacquaa ruby red wine with a soft, aromatic and sweet flavour, obtained from a unique vine variety and produced in a limited number of bottles. It can boast to have been the first D.O.C. in Liguria.

La città è divisa in due parti: il borgo medievale fortificato e l’estensione ottocentesca; offre numerosi spunti di visita, tra palazzi, piazze, musei e giardini che raccontano la sua storia e quella dei tantissimi personaggi, artisti in primis, che la elessero quale luogo del cuore.
Highlights
- Apricale panorama mozzafiato, con le Alpi Marittime che fanno da sfondo a un paesino interamente costruito in pietra, di impianto medievale, con i tipici vicoli del centro
