You step off the coach and the air carries salt and sun-warmed stone; a cluster of pastel houses clings to the cliffside like notes on a sheet. The day moves in bright, sharp chapters — a train whistle, a narrow alley, a piazza opening onto a pocket harbor — each village offering a different slice of Liguria.
