La Spezia Provice
The southernmost province of the coastal region of
Liguria, La Spezia is home to several ports on the Ligurian
Sea.
There is also a major military presence in the area
and the manufacture of arms. Other than that, the area
is very dependent upon tourism and fishing for a living.
An area popular with artists and authors for several
hundred years, there are many famous villas in the area
that are open for tours.
La Spezia has a very mild climate that makes it perfect
for enjoying the sea much of the year.
The capital city is also called La Speziais and is
home to nearly 100,000 residents. A beach resort in
its own right, it also serves as the stopping off point
for the very popular Cinque Terre islands that are a
UNESCO World Heritage Site, several of which are completely
closed off to traffic.
The local cuisine here features many seafood dishes
that are unique to the province.
