Spotorno

Spotorno is a coastal commune in Liguria stretching along the Mediterranean with sandy beaches and narrow streets lined with traditional painted buildings in warm colors. The layout combines waterfront access with a compact town center where residential areas blend directly into the shoreline.

The settlement grew from a fishing village into a shipbuilding center where craftsmen built brigantines during the maritime trade period. This tradition of maritime craftsmanship shaped the community's development and regional importance.

The town maintains strong maritime traditions through regular fish festivals where locals prepare and share seafood using traditional methods. These celebrations are central moments in community life, bringing residents and visitors together.

The town is accessible by train from Genoa or Savona, with the station within easy walking distance of the beach and town center. The compact layout makes it simple to explore on foot, with most areas easy to reach and the shoreline accessible throughout the day.

The settlement forms a compact area squeezed between the sea and surrounding hills, setting it apart from more sprawling coastal towns. This tight proximity to the water has defined the community's character through generations.
