Gulf of La Spezia: Tellaro

At the edge of the Gulf of La Spezia we find Tellaro, the adoptive village of the writer Mario Soldati, perched on the rocks.

After arriving in the village, we climb on foot towards the top through a tunnel that in the past was the only safe way to get around the village, when the sea reached the square. It is a little tiring, but it is worth it.

From here you can continue along a series of itineraries, for instance to Porto Venere and Bocca di Magra. There is a path for experienced excursionists that starts from a central little square in the village of Tellaro and goes to Punta Bianca, along the high road of the Gulf to reach Montemarcello and beyond, Bocca di Magra.
