Luoghi da sogno: la nostra "top 20" (posizione 6)

POSITION 6: HIGHWAY 1 - BIG SUR (CALIFORNIA)

Torniamo negli Stati Uniti, lungo la costa ovest, dove scorre una delle strade probabilmente più famose al mondo. Parliamo ovviamente della mitica Highway 1 (California State Route 1), la strada panoramica lunga più di 1000 chilometri che collega San Francisco a Los Angeles.

Let's come back to the United States, along the west coast, where there is probably one of the most famous road in the world. We are talking of course about the legendary Highway 1 (California State Route 1), the scenic route (over 1000 km long) that connects San Francisco to Los Angeles.


In un trip californiano, che solitamente rappresenta il primo viaggio on the road a stelle e strisce, la highway 1 rappresenta una tappa obbligata.

In a California road trip, which usually is the first road trip, the highway 1 is a must.



E non commettete il gravissimo errore di percorrere il San Francisco-Los Angeles lungo la autostrada interna: è vero, impiegherete la metà del tempo, ma vi perderete un paesaggio unico...

You shouldn't make the huge mistake, while you are driving between San Francisco and Los Angeles, to use the faster highway 5 instead of the highway 1: if you do this you will miss beautiful landscapes...



Noi l'abbiam percorsa a "scendere", ovvero da San Francisco a Los Angeles, in due tappe con sosta a Pismo Beach.

We drove along the Highway 1 from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Two stages, of course, with a stopover in Pismo Beach.



A farci compagnia per oltre mille chilometri l'oceano pacifico e tantissime cittadine costiere francamente una più bella dell'altra. Da Pebble Beach a Carmel, da Santa Barbara a Monterey.

The Pacific Ocean has been our friend for more than 1000 kilometers. But the highway 1 is not only beautiful landscapes: there are, infact, a lot of beautiful cities like Pebble Beach, Carmel, Santa Barbara and Monterey.


E proprio a Monterey non potete assolutamente perdervi la "17-mile drive" una strada scenografica con pochi eguali che va da Pacific Grove a Pebble Beach. Pagando una sorta di biglietto d'ingresso di 10 dollari per veicolo, percorrerete le splendide 17 miglia tra splendidi campi da golf e ville da sogno.

In Monterey you can not miss the "17-mile drive", a scenic road (with few equals in the entire world) from Pacific Grove to Pebble Beach. Paying a sort of entrance fee of $ 10 per vehicle, you could drive along the beautiful 17 miles of beautiful golf courses and houses.


Per certi versi non siamo tanto lontani dai paesaggi irlandesi-scozzesi.

In some ways we are not so far from the Irish-Scottish landscapes.


Come avrete intuito, infatti, Pebble Beach non è per tutti: per vivere qui dovrete separarvi da tantissimi pezzi in verde...

As you may have guessed, in fact, Pebble Beach is not for everyone: to live here you'll have to be very very rich.


Lungo la Highway 1 sarete voi, l'auto (meglio se cabrio) ed il mare. E se volete la ciliegina sulla torta, fermatevi in una delle tante spiagge e, insieme ai famosi bagnini stile baywatch "pucciate" i piedi nell'oceano. No, il bagno lasciatelo fare ai californiani che sono abituati. L'acqua è fredda, decisamente fredda, nonostante in California faccia caldo sostanzialmente tutto l'anno.

Along Highway 1 there will be you, your car (preferably convertibles) and the ocean. And if you want the icing on the cake, stop in one of the many beaches and refresh yourself in the sea. No, you can't have a bath, only californian people can do this The water is cold, very cold, despite in California is hot substantially all year long.
