We had the most amazing tour of Bussana with our guide, Monica. We were picked up right near our hotel in San Remo and from the moment we got into the car Monica shared interesting and relevant information. The walk up the mountain to Bussana was rustic and beautiful with many photo opportunities. Once we arrived in the wonderous town it was obvious that our guide, Monica not only had excellent knowledge of the history of the town but also had established a fabulous relationship with the people in the community and this hospitality was extended to us. We had an enchanting tour and then beverages and traditional snacks at one of the delightful little eateries ensconced within the village. This tour is a highly recommended experience.

Het was een prachtige ervaring, we waren er vroeg dus er waren nog niet zoveel kunstenaars aan het werk. We gaan zekers nog een keer terug ..

C’est intéressant mais les occupants se disent artistes, en fait cela ressemble plus à certains quartiers de Paris qu’on cherche surtout à éviter

Veel.kunst. Mooie straatje. Prachtig om foto's te maken. Mensen waren er vriendelijk. Wel even een klimtje om er.te komen.

Très jolie village d'artistes, un peintre avec des peintures marines magnifiques, des ruelles , une histoire, une ruine d'église.. Beaucoup d'émotions.. a voir

Bel borgo molto pittoresco sebbene un po’ diroccato a causa del terremoto che lo rese disabitato, prima di risorgere con i figli dei fiori e gli artisti.

Uitstekende uitstap vanuit Sanremo bijvoorbeeld, je kunt er gerust een drietal uur mee bezig zijn. Je krijgt een dorp te zien dat enerzijds verwoest is door een aardbeving -het is niet heropgebouwd- , en anderzijds toch weer een eigen leven heeft gevonden. De indruk die je krijgt is uiteraard die van een natuurramp, maar anderzijds is het ook lief. Dat laatste is een essentieel onderdeel van de ontdekking, dus ik kan het ook niet verklappen.

Door een aardbeving van 6.5 op de Schaal van Richter getroffen op 23 februari 1887. De restanten van dit oude dorp werden in de jaren 60 illegaal bewoond door een aantal kunstenaars. Na een fikse klim met de auto omhoog kom je aan in dit nog deels verwoeste dorp. De tijd heeft er letterlijk stilgestaan. Een bezoek meer dan waard. Vrije toegang, vriendelijke mensen, goede koffie.

Vastomondo

Un paese che sembra uscito da una favola, forse La bella addormentata: antiche rovine abitate e abbracciate da piante rampicanti, bottegucce artigianali e artistiche, verde, orti, il vento sussurra fra i muri smozzicati.
