Appuntamento nella bella Porto Maurizio, una delle "due" Imperia (l'altra e' Oneglia), a bordo mare con vista sul caratteristico Borgo con le case colorate. Cominciamo a salire, lasciando il mare alle nostre spalle. Il territorio cambia colori: immensi uliveti a perdita d'occhio!! Queste piante producono una delle olive piu' famose al mondo: la"taggiasca" dalla quale si estrae un'eccellenza italiana unica, l'Olio Extravergine di oliva Monocultivar "Taggiasco". Questi uliveti sono adagiati sulle "terrazze", trattenute da chilometri di muri in pietra detti "a secco", una incredibile architettura millenaria che ha permesso di adattare un territorio altrimenti scosceso e inutilizzabile. Con una breve deviazione arriviamo nel piccolo Borgo di Valloria dove puoi ammirare le piu' di 100 porte dipinte di stalle, magazzini e cantine, vere e proprie opere d'arte. Riprendiamo la pedalata, sempre immersi tra uliveti centenari. Ed ecco Dolcedo, antico Borgo ligure famoso per il suo ponte in pietra, per le sue case seicentesche, i vecchi mulini, i vicoli pavimentati con ciottoli bianchi e neri. Un luogo unico che ti rimarra' impresso nei tuoi ricordi piu' belli!!! Riprendiamo la nostra pedalata. Finiamo questa intensa giornata rientrando ad Imperia visitando l'iconico Borgo antico.
