If you are going south, towards Cinque Terre, La Spezia or Portovenere, we highly recommend Bracco Pass. (In Italian: Passo del Bracco). This road is also part of Via Aurelia and a fantastic fun driving experience in the mountains overlooking the sea.
With many tight bends, it is especially suitable for cars with a little less power. Think Lotus and you will understand. The road is very popular with motorcycle drivers and cyclists during the weekends, so please pay attention.
Also, do stop at the cafe in Mattarana after the highest point of the pass. It is a classic stop for all locals that enjoy this road on the weekends.
Then, continue on the road towards Borghetto di Vara and then all the way to La Spezia via Padivarma and Ricco del Golfo. Congratulations – you now have hours of enjoyment on one of the most fun roads in the world. Yes, it is that good.
