Gandria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With about 200 inhabitants, Gandria is a small picturesque village on the Lake Lugano in Switzerland. Although often referred to as an independent town, it is technically a quartiere of Lugano, and easy to reach by boat. It is also possible to walk from Gandria to Lugano and other surrounding cities via a public maintained footpath. The olive path between Gandria and Castagnola leads along fields of olive trees and offers a splendid view of the Lake of Lugano.
On the underside of all the beauty, Gandria still flushes all of its sewage raw into Lake Lugano. Bathing is not advised. It is unclear whether fish from the lake are entirely safe to eat.
