Where Should I go: Aquitaine or Liguria?
Aquitaine
Aquitaine, also known as "Guyenne" or "Guienne," is a province of south-west France with a stretch of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean and a mountainous border to the south with Spain. The province covers an extensive area encompassing anything from coastline to countryside, small villages to thriving cities, and expansive vineyards to age-old castles.
Liguria
The northwestern coast of Italy plunges into the sea as rugged mountains mix with blue water. Amongst this scenic landscape, small towns full of pastel colored houses cling to the cliffs above small harbors full of fishing boats and beachcombers. The capital is Genoa (or Genova), a city steeped in history with winding alleyways and world-class seafood. However, most visitors flock to nearby Portofino, one of the ritzier and more expensive, but extremely beautiful, Italian coastal cities. Here one can find large yachts parked along the shore next to rows of colorful buildings climbing the hills above the town.
