Cinque Terre is more beautiful than advertised. I spent my time there wandering through the towels. Each has a slightly different character and a different story to tell. The towns are built into steep hillsides which plunge into the Ligurian Sea. It has access to the rest of Italy by railroad cut through the cliffs, and there must be a road because there are a few cars. Life is very vertical there. Here are the stairs to our apartment:
As with all the places we have been, the people have been friendly and the food had been amazing. Hint: eat local. The local food is fresh and tasty. Food from far away is less tasty. So in Cinque Terre order anchovies, not tuna, and it might be a good idea to ask if vegetables are fresh or frozen.
Speaking of taste, here is a taste of the visual splendor that is Cinque Terre.
