VISITING FINALE LIGURE

With centuries of history, Finalborgo is now a destination for tourists from around the world, both for its temperate climate throughout the 12 months of the year and its sea with its sandy beaches, as well as the pleasant hillside localities which are perfect for free climbing. The inland, full of caves that were inhabited by primitive Man, is one of the most beautiful places for climbing in Italy which, together with the beautiful beaches of Finale, makes an ideal holiday destination for climbers.
