Mulazzo is situated in the northern part of Val di Magra along the Mangiona stream which carved a thin valley into the green surrounding hills. Here it is possible to spend a relaxing holiday in an intact countryside. This area is ideal both for long hikes and short walks, while the gastronomical specialities can satisfy any food connoisseur.

Mulazzo's cuisine is excellent: as the Val di Magra has a very good food tradition, nd Mulazzo is probably its capital. The secrets of good eating are passed down from generation to generation; every year the prize BancarelVino is awarded to the best wine of the region while the Mengoli prize is dedicated to the best publishing opera on gastronomy. This area is also interesting from a cultural point of view: Mulazzo, for example, is one of the best examples of fortified town in Lunigiana.

Absolutely essential are a visit to the castle, to the Malaspina aqueduct, to the remains of the Byzantine tower and to the church of San Martino. In the neighbourhood there are also many other centres worth a visit. Monteriggio is one of them: small village in the middle of a chestnut forest, it features a Malaspina palace and a XIX century church (Sant'Apollinare). Next to it, on the hill Carbone, there are the sanctuary of Madonna del Monte and a series of interesting old stone houses.

Of some interest is also the Groppoli castle, with a square tower form the so called obertengo period (X-XI century). A few kilometres away, the village Bastevoli features an ancient church, a Malaspina stronghold from XVI century and a beautiful view.
