The
old town of Ventimiglia (Ventimiglia Alta) is incredible - with old,
crumbling walls, telephone and electric cables running everywhere,
typical of Italy but a real place, no airs and graces, just a place
where time has stood still, stuck in some kind of time warp. Most of the
steep streets are narrow, with access only by foot. A complete contrast
to affluent Menton in France just 10 minutes away, with its peach
coloured, well-kept buildings.
