Cuneo, the provincia granda

If you fancy a weekend of relaxation and you like me an insane passion for food, Cuneo and its province can do for you.
Cuneo, translated wedge, takes its name from its triangular shape, "wedged" between the rivers Stura and Gesso. From the tip of the triangle is the oldest part of the city, via Roma with its beautiful porticos accompanies us to piazza Galimberti, occupied by a large market every Tuesday. Also the next Nizza course, which proceeds in the direction of Borgo San Dalmazzo, is characterized by the presence of arcades, of more recent construction, but no less beautiful. This feature allows you to explore the city even when it rains.

Although the dimensions are those of a medium-sized towns, the rhythms of life are those of a country, pausing for a drink is a real institution and often can almost replace a meal. Personally I would recommend the "Corso" for a good breakfast with excellent croissants at cream (check out the beautiful color of cream.

Speaking of bar goes absolutely reported Arione, overlooking Piazza Galimberti, is the true inventor of Rum Cuneesi, as patent certifies featured exposed. These chocolates are a true work of art, but if you want something different the meringue with cream are unproven. But the culinary delights do not end here. The fresh pasta is a wonderful area and habits there are many shops where you buy it.Ravioli del Plin, Tajerin, ravioli della Val Varaita are just some of the varieties you can find.
Another very typical of the area are the cheeses. As the Piemonte region, also the province of Cuneo has a strong vocation cheese. You can find cheese for every palate: from the delicate Tomini, the pungent flavor of Bruss, from Raschera and Toumin of Mel, until you meet one of the world's finest cheeses, Castelmagno, along with the typical Cugnà, a sort of grape mustard, with apples, pears and figs. These and other delights you can find the cheese shop.
  Satisfied our throat we can make a trip to the church of the sacred heart and admire its beautiful structure.

Along the beautiful Viale Angeli reach the Santuario degli Angeli where you have a wonderful view of the river park. For those who enjoy walking in the countryside, the park offers a beautiful thematic route, suitable for children. In fact the whole Cuneo seems to be built suitable for children, all flat, with a highly developed road cycling, porches that protect from rain and sun, the Viale Angeli becomes a pedestrian on Saturday afternoons and Sundays.
  Wanting to move there are many places that are worth a visit: the beautiful Mondovì with its center reached by funicular, Savigliano and its fascinating old town square, Borgo San Dalmazzo, Saluzzo, and many other villages that I leave to you the pleasure of discovering , and enjoy.
