This rugged hilly area is a Natural Park and within it are the famous 5 villages clinging to rocksrising dramatically from the sea. Backed by the hills and surrounded by almost vertical vineyards these villages are seen at their best initially from the sea, as generations of fishermen have seen them. Many of the houses are painted in different typical Ligurian colours so that the homeward bound sailors could tell from a distance which was theirs. On the top of the hills a picturesque pathway connects ancient sanctuaries to the wonderful sea villages and between Riomaggiore and Manarola the Lovers Way has been cut in the rocks. is the first village reached from La Spezia. It has been developed vertically and is crossed by steps and stairways which spread out among the houses huddled next to each other. is perched on a steep dark rock jutting into the sea and with its small port guarded by two rocks it is the second of the Cinque Terre villages. Its origins are even more ancient than those of Riomaggiore as it was founded by the local people, probably from the Roman settlement of Volastra. Behind Manarola lie
terraced vineyards with dry stone walls and walking down towards the sea fascinating scenes and panoramas of extraordinary
beauty are found. Amongst these the most well-known is the Via dellAmore (Lovers Way) which joins Manarola to Riomaggiore. Along this short path, cut into the steep rock overlooking the sea, the view on one side is of the green hills and on the other is of the blue spread of the sky and the sea. differs from the other villages of the Cinque Terre as it isnt right beside the sea but sits on top of a rocky promontory about 100 metres high surrounded on three sides by vineyards and
terraces with the fourth side descending steeply to the sea. The village is reached by a long brick stairway in 33 sections with a total of 377 steps which is called the Lardarina. If preferred there is a road which goes to the village from the station. has retained the atmosphere of an ancient seafaring community far more than any of the other villages of the Cinque Terre. It has a
safe easily accessible natural harbour and a maritime tradition stretching back to ancient times. The name Vernazza derives from Gens Vulnetia, the name of old an Roman family who owned the freed slaves who founded the village. The village lies along the Vernazzola stream (now covered over) as far as the rocky cliff which prevents the houses from being seen out at sea. has a much larger medieval
centre than the other villages and a modern residential area along the beach and coastline. The village dates back to 643 when it was founded by the local people fleeing towards the coast from the barbaric invasions. The name probably comes from the fact that the ruling family at the time had red hair.
One of the most charming ways to admire the
beauty of Liguria is to walk along the way high up in the Ligurian mountains. The 400kms from Ventimiglia to Ceparana affords wonderful views of the sea on one side and the inland Padana Plain and the Alps on the other. The path offers walks at various levels ranging from easy, suitable for families, to difficult, suitable for experienced walkers, and goes through the Casoni Pass as well as different varieties of vegetation. Around the Cinque Terre the sea life is as beautiful as the surrounding scenery. There are many rare species of fish and even at a fairly shallow level it is possible to find coral, including the rare black and white variety. Because of our mild weather the season lasts all year.The numerous events include the Tigullio Championship, the old boat race Prada Sailing Week and the Zegna trophy in Portofino. In Rapallo there is the most famous horse riding
centre which has full obstacle and exercising fields.The school has horses for adults as well as ponies for children and lessons for all levels from walking, Western, English trekking to preparation for competitions. Rapallo has a prestigious 18 hole
golf course in the charming Valle Christi. The Ligurian Riviera, particularly east of Genova in the levante, offers magnificent rocky countryside admirably suited to climbing in beautiful scenery all the year round. In Moneglia there are hundreds of metres of newly relaid walks directly overlooking the sea and further afield there is some wonderful climbing on the Riva Plate.
