Mentone (Menton) from Punta Garavano
Our hike around the coast path from Menton-Garavan (France) to Capo Mortola (Italy), now a land and marine conservation area. This is where the granite of the Alpii Maritimi meets the azure water of the Ligurian Sea. Once the route of the Roman road Via Julia Augusta and now of railway tracks and road tunnels plus people-smugglers, the path passes a couple of small beaches and much colourful coastal scrub taking advantage of the mild (frost-free) Mediterranean climate. Various obstructions and closures made it impossible to follow the path as far as we would have liked.
