🏰🌸 Borgo di Cervo – a climb through the alleyways and a magical view of the sea 🌊⛪💫 Start from the side street (Via Cavour or Via Giacomo Matteotti) and slowly climb through the ancient stone alleyways, where every corner tells a story 📜🪨. At the top, the panoramic and evocative Piazza del Castello dei Clavesana awaits you 🏞️👑 Then the descent begins... through cobbled streets, arches, and breathtaking views 😍.

Here's an exciting, informed, and Komoot-friendly review of Andora's famous "Salto nel Blu": --- 🌊✨ The "Salto nel Blu" is pure adrenaline with a sea view! 🪂🌅 A natural springboard projecting toward infinity, with the blue of the Ligurian Sea opening up like a curtain. Located along the Antenne trail, it has become an iconic spot for the most daring riders 🚵♂️💨 The jump is challenging and reserved for those with great technical mastery, but there's also an alternative "chicken line" for everyone, allowing you to still enjoy the breathtaking view safely 🏞️👍 Recommended at sunset, when the light and sea create an almost mystical experience 🌇🌊 A perfect mix of extreme MTB and postcard-perfect scenery. Unforgettable.

From this path between the Castellareto hill and the Cervo hill, between San Bartolomeo al Mare and Andora, splendid views open up over the Gulf of Genoa.
