A wonderful holiday between… Cinque Terre and Portofino - 5 terra uk

The territory of Cinque Terre includes the coastal area that stretches from Punta Mesco, nearby Levanto, until Punta Montenero, nearby Portovenere, about ten kilometres east from La Spezia. A band of earth and stones 15 Kilometres long and 3 Kilometres wide getting through sea and hills Clung onto the rocks, leant on rocky hills above sea level we find the villages of the Cinque Terre: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, whose century-old isolation, due to difficulties of connection (the works for the railway line Genoa-La Spezia finished in 1874) concurred to maintain the beauty and the charm of an intact landscape.
