The Bay of Silence seen from Mandrella.
Surely one of the main reasons that pushes me to do the Mandrella path is to be able to photograph Sestri Levante and in particular the Bay of Silence from above.
As you will see from the colors, the photo was processed in hdr.
The symbol par excellence of Sestri Levante is Portobello (the famous Bay of Silence). The houses that jut out into the sea, once inhabited only by local fishermen. The boats parked in the middle. The former convent of the Annunziata which today, renovated, is used for exhibitions and events. A fairytale atmosphere and, if you are lucky enough to be here at a time of year that is not particularly crowded, you will understand why it is called the Bay of Silence.
This time I brought the telephoto lens and so I will reel off a few particularly beautiful photos from an unusual perspective.

I took a lot of photos in the town of Sestri Levante and you can find almost all of them here or by searching in the various article specific to the Ligurian city.
I refer you to the very well-kept and always updated website for the tourist promotion of my Sestri Levante: sestri-levante.net. This is the official website of the town's municipality: comune.sestri-levante.ge.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
If you want to read or buy some guide or book about Sestri Levante and Tigullio I invite you to see these books: Escursioni a Levante, Da Sestri Levante alle Cinque Terre or Il giro del Levante ligure.
