In 2001 we spent two wonderful weeks in Ligure, the Northwest coast of Italy. It proved to be an excellent area for sketching; lots of beautiful views and quaint, colorful villages.
We stayed in Santa Margherita, and from there visited Portofino, Camogli and the towns of the Cinque Terre. Other highlights of the trip were the amazing hikes we took and the fantastic food we had.
Here is my travel sketchbook from the trip:
