Tiglio!

There is a great hike from Barga that leads through fields and farms and then up through the woods to the hilltop village of Tiglio Basso, about 45 mins up and the same back. The weather is great!

I was a little nervous about where I had parked the rental car so before night closed in I moved it to a parking spot I made right by the front door….

Found a great place to park the rental car...
