The Cinque Terre is part of the Ligurian coast (Riviera spezzina) located in the province of La Spezia between Punta Mesco and Punta di Montenero, where there are five small villages here listed from north to south: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore. Since 1997 they are part of the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Each of these fishing villages is characterized by colorful houses, nice shops, and restaurants where to taste seafood specialties and the famous Ligurian condiment: pesto. Vineyards built on terraces created up on the hill surrounding the villages, produce amazing and autocthonous wines. The best way to visit them is to use the hiking paths that stretch along the coast, connecting the Cinque Terre one another and offering splendid views of the sea.
I spent wonderful days during my holidays in Cinque Terre, amazing views, fantastic food and wines, good walks, deep blue sea and nice people. In Monterosso al Mare, there is a cozy shop selling artisanal shoes: LANAPO, the 5 Terre sandals. Creating according to the best tradition of craftmanship and focused on quality the 5 terre sandals are the result of inspiration coming from this enchanting corner of Italy.
