The Sailor's walk in San Vincenzo

An inner journey taking in city, nature and sea

This route starts from the centre of San Vincenzo and leads up to the large statue of the Sailor, a 7-metre high bronze sculpture that has been overlooking the sea since 2010 from the tourist port of San Vincenzo. It's the only sculptural example of this magnitude located at a port in Europe, and it's a charming place both to admire the horizon and to rediscover your inner self.
