Santa Margherita Ligure

This weekend, I visited the Ligurian coast (also known as the Italian Riviera), which stretches 350km along the Mediterranean Sea between France and Tuscany. I was at the town of Santa Margherita, which was really popular with Italian tourists. It is less than 2 hours drive from Milan, so many of the richer residents of Milan own beach properties here. I noticed that all the buildings here were very well preserved, a reflection of the money in this town. The buildings were all painted in different shades of pastel pink, yellow and orange. Many had elaborate painted-on decorations on the exterior walls. It looked unreal, almost Disneyland-like to me!
And here is a view of the coast at sunset, from the docks of Santa Margherita.
