Ventimiglia


Ventimiglia is a small town by the sea. It is very caotic ( you can't image how much! ) and it is about 130 km. from where I live.
I don't know the reasons why I like it, because is far from being perfect...but there is a nice garden in the center with many palm trees.


There is a daily market where they sell fruit, vegetables








and beautiful, fragrant  flowers.



There are cafes ( but a few have wi fi ) and people coming from all parts of Italy...


 ...and finally  a long promenade where you can walk!
Perhaps is the constant colourful confusion that reigns there, and its friendly inhabitants what make me feel always at ease !

  3. I was in Ventimiglia years ago, I remember pretty, and I remember I bought a beautiful fruit stall on the street. You made me remember, thanks. I like your skirt.

  5. I have been in Ventimiglia as well. We used to spend many, many vacations in a small town near Nice (Cagnes-sur-Mer)and went for trips. To Monte Carlo too and once to Ventimiglia. Indeed a very nice town.
    Is that a skirt with blouse you are wearing or a dress? Very elegant, very Italian (in my view of Italians..classy, very well dressed, creative).
