From Isolabona it is another 8km/5mi to Baiardo. Inland from the Riviera Ponente, with its crowds of summer visitors, are many quiet little villages well off the beaten tourist track which are well worth visiting not only for the beauty of their setting, on hilltops or precipitous slopes, but also for the picture they give of typical Italian hill settlements. Characteristic examples of such villages can be seen on the road from San Remo via Ceriana to Baiardo (25km/16mi) or on the road from Ventimiglia via Dolceaqua to Apricale (13km/8mi). It is also possible to take in these places on the way from San Remo to Ventimiglia (additional distance 29km/18mi).
Baiardo (25km/16mi northwest; 900m/2,970ft), is situated on a hill, with a beautiful parish church and the ruins of another church (16th century) destroyed by an earthquake in 1887. From a nearby terrace there are magnificent views of the mountains. From Baiardo the trip can be continued via Apricale to Ventimiglia.
