La Spezia is a city in the Liguria region of northern Italy, at the head of La Spezia Gulf, and capital city of the province of La Spezia. It's a beautiful city where the colours of the sea blend with the nearby mountains.
The streets are full of bergamotto trees, and the colourful and sunny seafront Passeggiata Morin (Morin walk) is faced by the historical gardens. The gardens offer a unique combination of colours. There are numerous varieties of plants ranging from the cedar to the magnolia and other types of characteristic palms, alternated by a large blossoming of roses among wild agaves.
