Day 1: Arrive La Spezia, Italy
The Cinque Terre is one of the most unspoilt areas of the Mediterranean and one of the most extended areas in Liguria. They are a kingdom of nature and wild scents maintained as in the past. To visit Cinque Terre means visiting five villages suspended between sea and earth, clinging to cliffs and surrounded by green hills. It means to know the history of whom, for centuries, have fought against difficult land but it also means to taste the result of this millenarian struggle and in particular the wine and produce. A visit to these villages means learning the culture of the drystone walls and of the vineyard, of the fishermen and of their nets, of the steep valleys and their paths. When visiting Cinque Terre you can choose between a dive in the sea or hike on the hills, between a walk in the narrow alleys called ‘Carruggi’ or a ride by boat, a pilgrimage to a Sanctuary or a seafood lunch. It is a landscape unique in the world in which man and nature have lived together in harmony since the beginning of time.
