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.

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.

Holiday homes: Italians choose San Remo

Buying an holiday home in 2022 is a choice of many Italian families and couples and the priority is to stay in Italy. For a question of distance, certainly, but also of cost, comfort and above all beauty. In Italy we really have something for all tastes and many destinations also have an unbeatable historical and cultural relevance.

A seaside property is par excellence the place to relax and many Italians choose a destination that can be reached even for a simple weekend break.

Cost certainly plays a fundamental role in the choice of a seaside resort, but this is not the only parameter. The second most important is in fact distance, followed by the size of the house. Many then have specific needs, such as proximity to a beach or to a Marina or to a certain type of service. Therefore, practical choices dominate, as well as the choice of the best destinations.

Which locations do Italians prefer?
According to “Il Sole 24 Ore“, among the locations preferred by Italians in this first half of 2022, those who live in the north, clearly more distant from the sea and therefore with a greater need for a beach house, certainly stand out. On the other hand, those who live in the centre-south tend to have the sea closer and can decide to go there even in the day.

For this reason, Liguria certainly stands out in the ranking of the ten favourite destinations, capable of combining functionality, distance and cost.

In fact, in first place in this special ranking we find San Remo, followed by two destinations in Lazio, Anzio and Terracina. We then return to Liguria with Chiavari and Rapallo, then Comacchio in Emilia-Romagna and Monopoli in Apulia. Lerici, once again in Liguria, and Montesilvano in Abruzzo close the ranking.

The territorial distribution is evident, with a large Ligurian representation against two destinations close to the capital, two others from the south on the Adriatic side and only one in Emilia-Romagna.

Space, quality of life, an outdoor lifestyle, and cultural amenities, all of which are typical of Italian living, have risen to the forefront of many buyers’ minds in recent years.

And Liguria can add to the above the best climate in Italy, the most pristine waters and easy accessability by air with the proximity of Nice International Airport and Genoa airport, by car from France, Britain, Suisse and Germany and also by train.
