THE CINQUE TERRE

http://www.destination360.com/europe/italy/cinque-terre
The Cinque Terre is a rugged mountainous region located on the coast of Italy. The area consists of five villages that lie on the western coast of northern Italy. From north to south, the villages that make up the Cinque Terre region are Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The villages are each about two miles apart from one another, with the entire area spanning approximately eight miles. The villages contain a variety of small cafes and restaurants, bed and breakfasts, and hiking trails.


One of the most popular things to do in the Cinque Terre is hiking. A network of trails connects the five villages. One of the most frequently traveled paths is the Via dell"Amore, or Lover"s Pathway. The hiking trail runs between the southernmost neighboring villages of Manarola and Riomaggiore. To access the path, take a Cinque Terre train to either village and ask one of the locals where the entrance to the trail is located.

    Is this one of the places you just went to? I can't get over this picture. It would be so amazing to wake up to a village that looked like that every day! It would also make a fabulous painting :)

    Yes and it was one of our favourites! It would make a great painting. We snorkeled all along the Cinque Terre. You have some amazing pictures of your trip as well. I'm glad you had such a good time! xx
