9 Hidden Gems in San Remo Proposed by Born and Raised Locals

San Remo, a charming city on the West Riviera, is an appealing destination with more to offer than just beautiful beaches and pleasant temperatures. As leaders in the West Ligurian real estate market, LiguriaHomes Casamare is proud to share the little-known treasures that make San Remo a special and alluring destination for travel and investment. This trip will explore the attractive city’s lesser-known gems, from the authenticity of purchasing fresh seafood directly from fishing boats to the serenity of playing golf.

Buying Fish directly from the Fishing Boats

Buying fish directly from fishing boats docked at the harbour “Porto Vecchio” is one of the most genuine and distinctive experiences that San Remo has to offer. Early in the morning, the city’s fisherman cast their nets out to sea in search of a fresh catch, which can include anything from anchovies to sea bream to the famous red shrimps .

You get to choose from the day’s catch even before it arrives at the market, providing an unmatched level of freshness and quality. The best quality is guaranteed because to this direct-to-consumer strategy, which also helps local fisherman.

Purchasing fish directly from local fishermen is also an eco-friendly choice. It promotes sustainable fishing practices and reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting seafood over long distances. This aligns with the growing trend of conscious consumerism, making it a choice that is both delicious and responsible.

If you’re interested in this unique experience, we advise to arrive early in the morning when the boats come in with their fresh catch.

Refreshing and Playing Golf in the “Circolo Golf degli Ulivi”

Golfing in San Remo is an activity that blends physical effort with visual enjoyment thanks to its immaculate fairways and greens that mix in well with the surrounding scenery.

Sardenaira and Torta di Verdura: A Culinary Journey Through the West Liguria Riviera

Today, we invite you to discover two traditional dishes that embody the true essence of West Liguria cuisine: Sardenaira and Torta di Verdura.

Sardenaira: A Treasure of Liguria Cuisine

Sardenaira has ancient roots and is believed to be influenced by a blend of Provençal cuisine and Neapolitan pizza. However, it has acquired its own distinctive identity in Liguria, where it has become a true symbol of traditional cuisine. It can be enjoyed both as an appetizer and as a full meal, either cold or freshly baked. While it resembles pizza, its texture and taste are closer to focaccia.

Ingredients and Preparation
The base of Sardenaira is a leavened dough, similar to that of pizza but with some key differences. The ingredients for a perfect Sardenaira include tomato sauce, anchovies, black olives, and garlic. These are arranged on a thick, soft dough and baked until golden to ensure the crust’s crispiness.

A New Era for Tourism in Liguria Has Arrived, With the “Terre del Rossese”

A Significant Partnership for Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Tourism

Five Ligurian municipalities—Camporosso, Dolceacqua, San Biagio della Cima, Soldano, and Perinaldo—have joined forces in a ground-breaking attempt to introduce the region’s first territorial trademark, appropriately called “Terre del Rossese“. Sanremonews.it recently broke the news, and it represents a crucial turning point for the region’s tourism and cultural industries.

The Idea That Inspired “Terre del Rossese”
A complicated region with many traditions and a historic interaction with the environment is the focus of the project, which strives to give it a coherent and coordinated picture. The Fondazione Compagnia San Paolo is helping “Terre del Rossese” establish these five communities as major actors in contemporary domestic and international tourism, in addition to their local economies. The brand is committed to constructing an immersive journey through history, gastronomy, and nature.

A Multiple-Faceted Strategy
The effort includes training programmes for locals, agricultural producers, hoteliers, business owners, and tourism organisations in addition to promotional activities aimed at luring tourists. This all-encompassing strategy guarantees that the brand will leave a lasting impression, helping both the local population and tourists alike.

A Theatrical Trekking Experience as the Opening Event
This complex endeavour will begin on September 16 in Camporosso with a one-of-a-kind hiking spectacular put on by Fondazione Luzzati Teatro della Tosse. The event, titled “Di ulivi, vigneti, storie e silenzi” (Of olive trees, vineyards, stories, and silences), attempts to bring the legends, customs, and people of the region to life.

What’s Next for “Terre del Rossese”?
The brand strives to improve the tourism capital of this priceless region while acting as a hub for diverse projects by individual communities. “Terre del Rossese” pledges to provide a cutting-edge tourism experience by spotlighting regional cuisine, hiking routes, and biodiversity.

We at LiguriaHomes Casamare believe that this is a fantastic chance for real estate investors to profit from Liguria’s expanding tourism industry. The “Terre del Rossese” programme is proof of the area’s dedication to environmentally friendly and culturally diverse tourism, making it the perfect vacation and investment destination.
