From the Lavagna station we walk along Corso Giuseppe Mazzini, the tree-lined avenue that leads to the foot of the hill. At the second intersection, a tourist sign indicates the slate streets, so we turn right onto Via Tedisio. After 50 meters a yellow sign on the left indicates the beginning of the uphill path marked with a red dot. The first section is quite steep and you run alongside numerous holiday homes, the terrain is smooth and after a few minutes the path begins to be traced by the slate buttocks.
The first part develops on Via Monte then it is necessary to follow the fork to the left on Via San Benedetto following the signs for Santa Giulia. Near a sharp bend we reach the first panoramic saddle where we meet other houses and a tiny ruined church. Continue on level ground and then, before reaching the asphalted road, we notice the start of a staircase on the right. Between dry stone walls, villas and Marian icons, you can reach Santa Giulia di Centaura in just under an hour.
