Leg 19 from Noli to Finalborgo

In its first part, this very interesting leg follows the beautiful panoramic Pilgrims Path, an itinerary that crosses the promontory of Capo Noli to reach Varigotti, with gorgeous views over the coast. From the centre of Varigotti the route climbs up to the Manie Plateau, until the Church of S. Giacomo. From the Church the trail descends towards the Ponci Valley, overlooked by the imposing Rocca di Corno and well known for the remains of its five Roman bridges, built along the ancient Via Iulia Augusta. After crossing the hamlet of Verzi, the trail climbs uphill through the Mediterranean scrubland before descending on Finalpia through the terraced countryside. The route continues on the rich flowered and shady promenade of Finale Marina, before bending towards the backcountry, ending in Finalborgo.
