A creuza that leads to Boccadasse in Genoa

Una creuza che porta a Boccadasse il famoso borgo genovese

A creuza that leads to Boccadasse, the famous Genoese village.
To go down to the village of Boccadasse you have to go down some narrow and steep brick streets, very typical of Liguria, which are called creuze.
This is one of these (to be precise the name is via Aurora) and from the opposite promenade of Corso Italia it goes down to the village's little beach.

Have you ever been to the seaside village of Boccadasse?

Qualche mese fa ho percorso il bellissimo (e piuttosto lungo) sentiero che parte da Santa Margherita Ligure e che, passando dal Monte di Portofino, raggiunge San Fruttuoso di Camogli e poi ritorna nella splendida Portofino.
Quando si sta per arrivare nel borgo ci sono un paio di punti veramente spettacolari per fotografare il bel borgo marinaro famoso in tutto il mondo.
