The azalea festival at Borgo a Mozzano

Every year, on a day in April, Borgo a Mozzano’s streets are filled with azaleas…a great time to visit this quaint nearby town. It wasn’t the best day with overcast skies and threatening rain, but I went anyway.

There were displays in the streets.

…lots of flowers for sale. Some of the rhododendrons will be living under the hazelnut trees at Casa Debbio.

Of course there was food for sale.

…and other things to buy.

The pool and surrounds in Borgo are looking great.

The pruned trees on the main street are springing to life.

On the way home I stopped on the Borgo side of the river for a different view of the Ponte della Maddelena. Even on an overcast day the bridge looks great.
