Genova's Patesseries

If living well is the best revenge, the Genovese must be paying someone back to an extreme. The city is so clean and charming. It is very walkable with smooth pavement, plenty of fountains and charming buildings. There are wonderful boutiques, good windowshopping and numerous dogs to pet along the way.

Not to be missed, are the patisseries, especially the Tagliafico. It is located in the old part of the city. We walked easily from the train station, stopped and bought a box of delicate confections (one of everything)and proceeded to the Arch. On a park bench near the arch,we savored a great many pastries. My favorite was a creme filled baba. It was so soaked in alcohol, I wasn't sure if it was legal to drive after eating. Baba mia! Arrivaderci Genova.
