A stone's throw from the French border, on a hill overlooking a beautiful sea lies Bordighera, a picturesque seaside village.

The town was discovered by the British in the 19th century who loved it for its sweet and mild climate throughout the year, the crystal clear sea and the lush vegetation in which palm trees stand out.

One could say that in Bordighera it is nature that is the master. You can see it not only in the streets that are embellished with colorful flowers, but also in the gardens, among which the most famous is the Winter Garden, a very rich collection of palm trees and others plants, olive trees, citrus fruits, Mediterranean scrub.

The Pallanca Exotic Garden does not give way to him, in which various types of cacti grow: high, low, rounded, spiny, with or without flowers.
To witness the beauty of the town are many famous people who stayed there: Margherita di Savoy, Monet, Dickens... The name of the waterfront also honors another famous person who visited the town: Evita Peron.

The Argentine waterfront is the longest beach promenade in the region. Adored by sports lovers, who jogging and skating, and by young people and families with children, as a place for recreation. You will find the tourists who sunbathe and the fishermen who push their boats into the sea. And if the days are clear, you can also see the French coast
