60? Look at all that fresh water! THE FIRST QUEEN Yacht basin. P' Four days after Gibraltar, with a day and a half stop at Cagliari, Sardinia, we visited San Remo, the largest city on the Italian Riviera and considered to be its most popular resort. San Remo had a double appeal: a combina- tion of the old and the new. The old city with narrow cobblestone streets is typical of old cities throughout the Med. lt offered good picture tak- ing and small bars with excellent wines. The new city displayed modern stores and a fine shopping district, showing first class clothing and souvenir items. The Hotel Royal with its beautiful gardens and California type pool is in the luxury class. Since San Remo has no outstanding historical interest, many men found themselves strolling along the Promenade in the cool of the evening, getting a look at an informal aspect of Italian life. For those not athletically inclined, outdoor cafes were good vantage points to sit, watch, and sip. Men who wanted to get out of town found an excellent view from the cable car, fine tennis courts, golf, and swimming available. San Hema, Italy M A Y wt X-tr if-tr I3 14 I5 I6 Funicula ride.
