Week 2 Alassio


Today’s trek (17km)  followed the shoreline going through two small villages (Androa and Laigueglia) before our final destination. All three towns have construction projects underway to improve and/or enhance the beauty of their shoreline and town. What is sad to see is the closure of many of the beach areas. This is the sign that summer will soon be over. Even though the temperature is in the mid-20s, beach umbrella and chair vendors are dismantling their beach cabanas and power washing their chairs. Everything is being carted away and stored in warehouses, but will be reassembled again in 2013 in time for the next wave of tourists. Life in Alassio is very typical of our last stay in Diano Marina. The difference seems to be in the tourists. Diano Marina attracts more tourists from England, and Alassio from Germany.
