The tour starts in the morning by bus from La Spezia. Our professional tour guide explains the history of the marble quarries, the culture, the plants and animals of the Apuan Alps. You will visit one of the marble quarries from outside and see the stonemasons doing their hard work. It is impressing to observe the heavy trucks with tons of marble coming down the small streets and serpentines of the steep mountains. After a short walk a selection of regional specialities will be served in a cosy pub in the historical village of Colonnata high up in the mountains: Colonnata is famous for its snow white bacon, matured in marble, which melts in one´s mouth. In the afternoon a short stop in Sarzana, a beautiful little town with a well conserved historical centre. There you will enjoy some leisure time for shopping in the cosy little boutiques of the small medieval streets. Return to La Spezia.
