La Via della Costa is a hiking trail approximately 300 km long. Located in Liguria, the path begins in Mentone and ends on the via Francigena in Sarzana, tracing a beautiful itinerary entirely situated on the Ligurian coast.
Divided into 12 daily stages, the adventure winds through terraces by the sea, blooming rivieras, woods, and charming Ligurian villages. You will find yourself admiring enchanting places such as Genova, Sanremo, and Portofino, the Santuario di Nostra Signora della Guardia a Ceranesi, the crystal-clear sea of Camogli and Sestri Levante up to the colorful Parco delle Cinque Terre.
A path resurfaced among ancient cobblestones, Roman roads, and medieval trails that has now become an important communication route for Italian pilgrims heading to Santiago or for foreign pilgrims who intend to follow the via Francigena in Italy.
Confirming the dual destination, the signage, a yellow arrow, is double-sided and indicates on one side the direction to Santiago and on the other that to Rome.
