Cinque Terre |
|
The "Cinque Terre" include
the coastal belt of the
territory that runs from
Punta Mesco, the western
promontory of
Monterosso, to
Portovenere; it’s a strip of
coast about 15 kms. long,
between the sea and the
mountains. |

Behind them, there’s the Val
di Vara (Vara Valley) and, in their final
part, the Gulf of La Spezia.
The steep profile of this territory,
sometimes overhanging on the sea, with
growings and vineyards, terraced thanks to
the famous "little dry stone walls" (built
with stones without cement), where rocks and
barren areas appear covered with heather,
broom and pines, only in a depht of 3 or 4
kms., highlights some 700-800 metres high
relieves.
The villages of the
Cinque Terre (Riomaggiore,
Manarola,
Corniglia,
Vernazza,
Monterosso),
crouch between the ridges of the Ligurian
Appennines, downgrading over the sea, and
the creeks of their spurs. It’s a strip of
land of an as enchanting as rugged nature,
where inhabitants became used to obstacles
and toil, always fighting with love for
their landscape. |
