Subjects : The Gulf of Bonassola, surrounded by hills dotted with vines, olive trees and maritime pines, is enclosed between the two promontories of the tip of the Madonna and the tip of the Carlino. The photographic ideas offered are numerous and remarkable. The Church of the Madonnina della Punta, overlooking the sea, the village of Bonassola with the characteristic Ligurian palaces and the remains of bunkers of the Second World War offer interesting architectural views. The walks to the jump of the Hare (above the promontory of the tip of the Madonna della Punta) and to the tip of the Carlino, set among maritime pines, shrubs of the Mediterranean scrub and rocks, guarantee breathtaking landscapes especially at sunset. Absolutely unmissable are the storm surges, with the waves that break against the rocks in front of the wall of the old railway creating very high puffs and wonderful reflected waves of imposing dimensions.

Recommended equipment : From the wide angle to the canvas depending on the subjects.

Best months : Every period of the year has interesting ideas: winter fascinates with its storms that are among the most beautiful in Liguria (attention, do not underestimate the risks deriving from the power of the waves, here particularly strong) and the other seasons offer the opportunity to enjoy in every declination the interweaving between the architecture, the landscapes and the colors of nature.

How to get there : By car, Genova Livorno motorway, deiva Marina exit (if you are coming from the North) or Levanto exit (if you are coming from the South), follow the signs for Bonassola (a half hour drive from the motorway exits). As for all of Liguria, it is recommended to arrive by train.

Visits : Access, parking and stay are absolutely free. There is paid parking (you only pay in the summer months).

Notes : It is possible to rent bicycles on site with which to follow the cycle path called "Ciclopedonale Maremonti": it is a paved path that, taking advantage of the old railway tunnels now recovered, connects Bonassola to the nearby municipalities of Framura and Levanto (the total length is about 5 km). This track is also passable on foot and being set among beautiful coves is absolutely not to be missed.
