Carro

Carro is best known within Liguria for its rural position in the upper Val di Vara. Set on wooded slopes of the Ligurian Apennines, this small municipality in the province of La Spezia lies in a markedly inland part of the region, away from the Mediterranean coast. The Vara, one of Liguria’s principal rivers, runs through the valley below; woodland, small fields and dispersed hamlets give the area its working-country character. Seasonal cooking in this part of Liguria makes use of valley produce, chestnuts and wild mushrooms, linking local tables to the surrounding terrain. Carro is a quieter counterpoint to the coastal centres of eastern Liguria. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Carro and the Val di Vara.
