Very beautiful! You go up from Diano marina towards the hinterland. You just have to see the perched village with the little church. It is Diano castello. There is an initial straight stretch, then a few hairpin bends that help you tackle the gradients of around 7%. The final part after the church is pavé. I recommend continuing either towards Diano San Pietro, making a loop. Or you can go left towards the province of Imperia... read more

Molto bella! Si sale da Diano marina verso l'entroterra. Basta vedere il paesino arroccato con la chiesetta. È diano castello. C'è un primo strappo rettilineo, poi qualche tornante che aiuta ad affrontare le pendenze attorno al 7%. La parte finale dopo la chiesa è di pavé. Consiglio di proseguire o verso Diano San Pietro, facendo un giro ad anello. Oppure si può andare verso sinistra andando in direzione provincia di imperia
