The quaint seaside town of Tellaro reminds me of a beautiful townscape painting filled with charms and preserved in its image for future generations to discover. Pastel-colored houses line the cliffs and slopes of the Ligurian coast, while people make their way through cobbled roads and alleys that have existed since the Middle Ages. Some of its landmarks still stand, such as Chiesa di San Giorgio, a Roman Catholic church that glows pink in the sunlight as it overlooks the water. For centuries, various creative minds, such as Mary Shelley and David Herbert Lawrence, have used the town as a retreat. Aside from the scenery, the cuisine is also very much worth visiting for, offering specialties like stuffed mussels alla spezzina and Ligurian focaccia.
