A wonderful holiday between… Cinque Terre and Portofino - cinque terre 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.
