Riccò Del Golfo Di Spezia
Physical Geography
The territory of Riccò del Golfo lies in the southernmost part of the middle and lower val di Vara, in the minor valley of the Riccò affluent of the Vara River, behind the Gulf of La Spezia.
The territory is part of the Regional Nature Park of Montemarcello-Magra-Vara. A woodland path, which passes by the village of Casella and the Sella della Cigoletta, marked as number 7 by the CAI, affords a connection with Vernazza and thus the coast of the Cinque Terre.
