Geocache Description:

TRAVEL TIPS: We recommend you to start from "La Serra" and walk in CAI's trail. We thought this cache with "Ruderi di Barbazzano" (GC58AV8), to join a wonderful walk throught the coast and amazing places. We didn't want to make a Multi-C beacause the 2 caches are different but they have a common background story.

Portesone è un borgo abbandonato sopra Ameglia. Nel XVI secolo la peste colpì gravemente gli abitanti e i sopravvissuti si rifugiarono a Barbazzano. 
Antico villaggio agricolo pastorale, Portesone è caratterizzato da case in pietra con una particolare struttura. I piani inferiori erano adibiti a stalla, mentre le abitazioni erano al primo piano, raggiungibili da scale di legno mobili. Queste case torri erano necessarie a causa delle frequenti incursioni piratesche
