Located in the Western Riviera between Punta del Maiolo and Punta del Vescovado, 13 km from the province of  Savona, the town of Spotorno extends along the coast with its varied landscapes.

The History of Spotorno

The backbone of the town is the Via Aurelia, which runs along the seaside throughout Liguria, as well as the long sandy beach filled, in the summer, with the umbrellas of the beach properties. Throughout the entire length of the coast is the seaside boardwalk with its gardens and piazzas leading to the historical centre of the village. This has the characteristic narrow alleyways typical of historical centres in Liguria, even though the historical centre of Spotorno is less confusing than many other Ligurian villages. The alleys, in addition to cafes and a number of restaurants, are also home to a number of artisan shops including those where the ceramics of Albisola are made.
