7 Riviera of Flowers with Alassio and Albenga
In Victorian times, Alassio evolved from a humble fishing village into a refined seaside resort, largely influenced by the influx of English visitors. The opening of the coastal railway in 1872 further enhanced its appeal. Albenga, once a Roman port, now lies slightly inland but retains its historic roots.
