The main thoroughfare of the quarters on the E. bay is the Corso Garibaldi (Pl. D, E, 2) and its E. prolongation, the Corso Felice Cavallotti (Pl. E, F, 2). A little above the latter, next to the Bellevue Hotel, is the Villa Villeneuve or Zirio (no adm.), where the dying German Crown Prince Frederick William resided from Nov., 1887, to March, 1888. The chief promenades in this quarter are the high-lying Via Wolfango Goethe (Pl. E, F, 1) and the quiet Corso Federico Guglielmo (Pl. E, F, 2), by the sea.

A delightful drive (tariff, see p. 123) is afforded by the *HILL ROAD to the N. of the town, which begins at the Rondo Marsaglia, above the Piazza Colombo, and, at first under the name Strada Zeffiro Massa (Pl. D, 2, 1), ascends the left bank of the Torrente San Francesco in the sheltered Barragallo Valley. The Via Porte Candelieri, the old road to Verezzo, coming from the Madonna della Costa, crosses the stream by a picturesque bridge. Farther on we follow the Via Dante Alighieri (Pl. D, 1), which turns to the S. towards the white dome-covered church of MADONNA DELLA COSTA (Pl. C, 2), perched on the top of the hill as the keystone of the old town. The church is approached by alleys of cypresses and, like the Giardino Regina Elěna, beside the large Hospital (Pl. C, 2), commands a fine view of bay and mountain.

The Via Galileo Galilei (Pl. C, B, 1, 2), the continuation of the hill-road, runs up one side and down the other of the San Romolo Valley, passing the Madonna del Borgo (Pl. B, 1), and then, shortly before the Rondò or Piazzale San Bernardo (Pl. C, 3), joins the Corso degli Inglesi (Pl. A-C, 3, 4; formerly Strada Berigo). This road leads to the W. and, flanked by beautiful gardens, winds along the hillside. A little below the road is the fine palm-garden of the *Villa Parva (Pl. B, 3; adm. Wed. & Sat., 10-12 and 2-4; 1 fr., for charitable purposes). We then enter the valley of the Torrente della Foce and descend it to the Corso Matuzia (Pl. A, 4).

EXCURSIONS. A beautiful and easily reached point of view is the (1 hr.) *Madonna della Guardia (370 ft.; restaurant) on Capo Verde (best view in the morning; carr., see p. 123). The ascent begins at the Dazio Comunale, about 13 M. to the E. of San Remo. The return from the church may be made by Poggio (Albergo Poggio, etc.), a village noted for its wine. The best view is obtained from near the old tower above the village. To Bussana Vecchia or to Taggia, see p. 121. A good road (omn., see p. 123) leads viâ Poggio to the (81/2 M.) picturesque hill-town of Ceriana (1210 ft.; inn). A road leads through the charming valley of San Martino to the (21/2 hrs.) prettily situated Verezzo, with the churches of San Donato and Sant' Antonio. - To San Romolo (2580 ft.), a former hermitage, with fine chestnut woods and villas, in the upper valley of San Romolo, a donkey-ride of 21/2 hrs. (6 fr.). This excursion may be continued viâ the Colle dei Termini (3105 ft.) to the (11/2 hr.) *Monte Bignone (4260 ft.; panorama of the sea with Corsica to the S. and the Maritime Alps to the N.). Rich flora (rhododendrons). From the pass a bridle-path descends to the N.W., viâ the Piano del Re, to the well-situated village of Baiardo (2950 ft.; two inns), whence we may return to San Remo via Ceriana (see above). Another pleasant extension of the excursion from San Romolo is that viâ the Monte Caggio (3575 ft.) and the villages of Seborga and Sasso BAEDEKER'S Northern Italy. 14th Edit.

Above the little fishing-port of Ospedaletti a winter-resort (100 ft.) was laid out in 1882 at great expense, in a sheltered and most favourable situation, with walks free from dust. Ospedaletti is one of the chief flower-markets in the Riviera; visits should be paid to the Pépinière in the Via Garibaldi, above the town, and to the Giunchetto (venerable palms), on the Bordighera road.

From Ospedaletti a mule-track (3/4 hr.) and a road diverging at Capo Nero lead to the little town of Coldirodi or Colla (830 ft.; Café-Restaurant des Etrangers; Caffè - Ristorante della Biblioteca), the town-hall of which contains a library and an inconsiderable picture-gallery (adm. 50 c.). Fine view near the cemetery.
