Via della Chiusa in the center of Sestri Levante.
I walk along it almost every time I go to the center, Via della Chiusa.
In this photo, intentionally “squashed” you can see all the colored houses of the pedestrian part of the street, the part that joins with the caruggio.

La Rambla in Barcelona: a journey through culture, history and fun.
The city of Barcelona, located on the northeast coast of Spain, is renowned for its vibrant culture, unique architecture and lively nightlife. One of the most iconic and fascinating places in this Mediterranean city is undoubtedly La Rambla, a street celebrated throughout the world for its beauty and charm. With a rich history and a wide range of activities to offer, La Rambla is an unmissable stop for anyone visiting Barcelona.
La Rambla, also known as “Les Rambles” in Catalan, is a long pedestrian street that extends for about 1.2 kilometers from Plaça de Catalunya to the port area of Barcelona. This famous avenue is made up of a series of separate streets that connect to each other, each with its own unique atmosphere. La Rambla gets its name from the Arabic word “ramla,” meaning “dry river,” in reference to the fact that a small river once ran along this route.
La Rambla is known for its extraordinary diversity. While the main street is a tree-lined avenue that makes for a pleasant stroll, it’s the sides of the street that really make it special. Here are some of the iconic sights you’ll find along La Rambla:
– La Boqueria Market: Located near Plaça de Catalunya, this food market is a foodie’s paradise. You can discover a variety of fresh fruit, fish, meat, sweets, and many other traditional Spanish products.
– Liceu Theater: This opera house is one of the most prestigious in the world and offers exceptional performances. Even if you’re not planning on seeing an opera, its grandiose façade is worth admiring.
– Street Performers: Along La Rambla, you’ll find a myriad of street performers showing off their artistic skills. From mimes to musicians, there are street performances for every taste.
– Living Statues: Some of the living statues along La Rambla are incredibly detailed and put on unique performances that capture the attention of visitors.
La Rambla also offers numerous culinary options. There are cafes and restaurants along the street where you can enjoy traditional Spanish dishes such as tapas, paella and fresh seafood. At night, La Rambla transforms into a lively area with many bars, nightclubs and discos, making it a meeting point for those looking to party until the early hours.
Avoid being a victim of theft. La Rambla is known for pickpockets, so make sure to keep your belongings safe.
Enjoy a stroll during the day and immerse yourself in the culture. Enjoy a cup of coffee at one of the many outdoor cafes or sample some delicious tapas.
Explore the side streets. Many of La Rambla’s treasures are found in adjacent streets, so don’t be afraid to wander off the main drag.
La Rambla is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Barcelona. This unique street is a cultural, culinary and entertainment experience that captures the heart of anyone who walks it. With its fascinating history and vibrancy, La Rambla is one of Barcelona’s gems that you can’t afford to miss.

Where is the Rambla:
La Rambla is one of the most emblematic places in the city, very popular all year round with both tourists and locals, and has different names in its different sections, which is why it is sometimes called in the plural Les Rambles in Catalan and Las Ramblas in Castilian. The word rambla comes from the Arabic raml (sand) and designates, as in other Spanish cities, a street created from a dry, buried or covered watercourse.

Discovering the caruggio of Sestri Levante, a marvel of Liguria.
Perhaps the title came out a little too high-sounding but I truly believe that the caruggio of my town is one of the most beautiful in Liguria.
If you then add that it is used to reach the Baia del Silenzio then you cannot help but agree with me!

Caruggio or Carruggio, (a word that in the “official spelling” of Genoese should be written (Caroggio and pronounced Caruggiu, because in Ligurian the O is pronounced U), is the term used to indicate a street or alley, even a portico, typical of Ligurian historic centers. The term derives from the Latin quadrivium, or from the more popular quadruvium.

Every self-respecting Ligurian city or village has its own carrugio. This is the one in Lavagna which, toponymically speaking, is called via Roma.
