The "Cinque Terre"
include the coastal belt of the territory that runs
from Punta Mesco, the western promontory of
Monterosso, to
Portovenere; it’s a strip of coast about 15 kms.
long, between the sea and the mountains. Behind them,
there’s the Val di Vara (Vara Valley) and, in their
final part, the Gulf
of La Spezia.
The steep profile of this territory, sometimes
overhanging on the sea, with growings and vineyards,
terraced thanks to the famous "little dry stone
walls" (built with stones without cement), where
rocks and barren areas appear covered with heather,
broom and pines, only in a depht of 3 or 4 kms.,
highlights some 700-800 metres high relieves.
The villages of the
Cinque Terre:
Riomaggiore,
Manarola,
Corniglia,
Vernazza,
Monterosso, crouch between the ridges of the
Ligurian Appennines, downgrading over the sea, and
the creeks of their spurs. It’s a strip of land of
an as enchanting as rugged nature, where inhabitants
became used to obstacles and toil, always fighting
with love for their landscape |
