Cinque Terre A corner of Liguria, between La Spezia and Levanto, where generations worked to create a unique scenery in the world, with its terraces dipping above the sea sustained by thousands miles of “ dry-walls”. From here the Cinque Ter re (The Five Lands) takes its name, for the five more typical and famous coastal villages: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, all of them belonging to the district of La Spezia. Although these five villages are linked by a scenic coastal road and by a very easy railway, the best way to discover them is by hiking. By covering centennial tracks you’ll have enchanting views of this landscape, from terraces of olive plants and vineyard, and where man don’t work anymore, the Mediterranean bush shows its jewels with blossoming of roses among wild agaves, white and pink bush. As watching into a mirror, also the coast reflects this wildness, and like small pearls, tiny stoney-beaches rise from bluffs and rocks dipping above the sea.
