不過，鮮為人知但卻魅力四射的聖瑪格麗塔小鎮（Santa Margherita Ligure）（當地人稱之為 "Santa"）可能會讓您大吃一驚。

但現在，我們要去海濱，沿著濱海大道漫步，這裡是當地人最喜歡聚集的地方，老少皆宜。

It seems to be lined with fully occupied benches from one end to the other set amidst this beautiful green park and there's the sea wall, there's the marina with the boats off in the distance kids out playing.

在這個美麗的綠色公園裡，從一端到另一端似乎都擺滿了長椅，還有海堤、碼頭和遠處孩子們玩耍的船隻。
