Torre dell'Aurora, Alassio

Liguria

The Torre dell'Aurora above Alassio stands in an ancient olive grove on the hill behind the resort — a 14th-century watchtower giving a panorama of the Riviera dei Fiori from Capo Mele to Capo Noli. The maquis path on the seaward side passes through rosemary, lentisk and pink rock-rose. Blue Rock Thrush on the cliff. The Alassio beach below is 2.5 km long. Dogs on leash.
