Europe's longest cycle path and surrounding villages

From Cipressa, one descends towards the sea admiring a spectacular panorama, the same one travelled by the riders of the Milano Sanremo. Pedal along the cycle path, skirting the sea, enjoying the sun and clean air. Shortly before Sanremo, we leave the cycle path to reach Bussana Vecchia, a village destroyed by a terrible earthquake in 1887 and brought back to life in the 1960s, when several artists from all over the world settled there, effectively founding the International Community of Artists. After visiting it, we return to the cycle path for a dip into prehistory by visiting the Grotta dell'Arma, now a church, inside which remains and artefacts dating back to the Palaeolithic period and Neanderthal man, 90,000 years ago, have been found. We continue along the cycle path to return to one of the many pearls of our Riviera di Ponente: Cipressa.
