A biggish town with a large naval base at the southern end of the rocky Lingurian coast, we stopped just outside for a night on route to Pisa. The area was popular with many English poets as the most romantic village in Italy, Portovenere, is nearby. There is a grotto dedicated to Byron who was a good swimmer and Shelly who drowned near here - not so good. It was liberation day eve, 24th April and also the day that Man Utd beat AC Milan 3-2. Saw most of the match on TV - whilst keeping a low profile!
