Catching up with the lost hikes, it was July 2016 and, as every year, Rapallo was getting ready to pay tribute to the Virgin Mary (who allegedly appeared on the Montallegro hills in 1557) with 3 days of celebrations. Needless to say, the chosen hike was Rapallo-Montallegro; to make it complex, we reached the shrine by hiking on the higher Mt Pegge… and found plenty of overgrown vegetation, that had us cry “ouch!” quite a few times. But all’s well that ends well: we had a relaxing and panoramic lunch on top of Mt Pegge as well as everything else afterwards. Including the three rounds of fireworks and the burning of the castle at night.
