Riomaggiore to Manarola

This path is easy and beautiful, perfect evening passeggiata  (the evening stroll).
It's known locally as the "Via dell' Amore" (the way of love).
"Lovers locks" are plentiful with keys tossed to the sea.


Seafood pasta in Manarola.

Great place to watcher fishermen come and go.


 Blue, ever so blue, is the water here!

Monterosso Beach



I had dreaded going to the Cinque Terra in July, but it was even more beautiful than the last time I was there. It also wasn't as crowded as I'd feared. Of the five fishing villages, it is Monterosso that has this amazing beach, my favorite place to book a hotel.
