L’Abbazia di San Fruttuoso e la spiaggia.
Cosa c’è di più bello di questo luogo a pochi chilometri da Sestri Levante e da Genova?
Alla fine di una camminata veramente dispendiosa ci si può tuffare in questa piccola insenatura dall’acqua cristallina e dai sassolini delicati.

If you are interested in seeing some photos taken along the path that goes from Camogli to San Fruttuoso click below:

The abbey is dedicated to Saint Fructuosus of Tarragona, a 3rd century Catalan bishop and saint, whose ashes are preserved in the abbey, where they were supposedly transferred following the Arab invasion of the Iberian Peninsula.
The abbey cannot be reached by any road, but can only be accessed by sea or by following two panoramic paths: one that descends from the Portofino mountain above and the other that runs along the coast starting from the Portofino bay. The abbey overlooks the bathing beach in front.
