State in Italy
We were in San Marino at five o'clock, on the way from Rome to Florence. After the mad Rome with crowds of tourists, motorcyclists, huge buses, etc. San Marino seemed to us a paradise on earth, I really wanted to stay 3-4 days. The narrow serpentine streets rise to the very top where this sovereign state of San Marino began. All the first floors of the houses are given over to shops and cafes. The sellers are very kind, attentive and in almost every store someone speaks Russian, and when the wine shop learned that we are from Ukraine, we were even quoted in broken Ukrainian "We are many, we can not overcome" it was after the Orange Revolution ". Yes, even here the lowest prices in Italy are wines, liqueurs, etc. and even things.
Very beautiful fortress and a good museum. And what views open from the top. We were in March when we left home, we barely moved the pass in the Carpathians, there was a lot of snow.
And here the heat is even hot in the wind, but where the sun rarely looks, there is snow. The impression is unforgettable. San Marino is a place for a quiet pastime, unfortunately it is far from visa problems. I would come here every year for relaxation.
