San Bartolomeo al Mare: the Riviera of Flowers

Liguria, San Bartolomeo al Mare
Liguria, San Bartolomeo al Mare

San Bartolomeo al Mare is located on the western coast, between Cervo Ligurian and Diano Marina.

Located in a very favorable climatic position, San Bartolomeo al Mare is a typical Ligurian town able to offer a thousand faces that change during the year it is able to satisfy the needs of young people, families and the old, thanks to the pleasant and relaxing walks on the coast.
The nights of San Bartolomeo are also lively and fun: the concerts on the churchyard of the Church of Madonna della Rovere, (built in Middle Ages and surrounded by centuries-old plants), the folkloric events, the parade of the boats illuminated on the night of August, the restaurants and nightclubs, compete to make the stay of the guests as lively as possible.

Walking through the avenues you will encounter numerous green areas with pine trees, geraniums, bougainvillea, while from the gardens you can smell the scents of fruit trees. Olive groves are unmissable: a seaside town like San Bartolomeo retains 300/400 hectares of it.
The bay of San Bartolomeo al Mare offers the splendid contrast between the blue of the sea and the lush vegetation typical of the Mediterranean scrub: pine forests d & d #39; Aleppo and maritime pine, hills transformed into terraces of olive groves with the tireless and patient hand of man, or covered with bushes of yellow broom, lentiscus, alaterno and fragrant thyme, as well as a suggestive spring bloom of spontaneous flora.

The city center is also rich in greenery: palms and eucalyptus trees, which have found favorable conditions of acclimatization here, intersperse with the colors of oleanders, hibiscus, bougainvillea, mimosas, roses and geraniums.

The public gardens of San Bartolomeo al Mare are home to numerous tropical species optimally acclimatized and included in association with typical plants of the riviera.
Of particular beauty some specimens of Washingtonia filifera and Washingtonia robust present on the promenade, the rows of Phoenix canariensis along the streets of downtown, a magnificent” agglomeration” of 12 Phoenix dactylifera located in Piazza S. Anna from where you can also appreciate a splendid panorama of San Bartolomeo al Mare.

The parish, named after St. John the Baptist, was built between the seventeenth and eighteenth century and is also known by the local name “dei Corallini”, because it was erected also thanks to the proceeds of fishing for the coral.
