Getting at the Riviera Ligure in Italy, you will find Cinque Terre or the five villages. Beautifully situated in the steep mountainous coastline, these villages are a feast for the eyes. They are included in the world heritage list of UNESCO. The villages, consisting of Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore are connected by a walkway, this is between the villages of Riomaggiore and Manarola called Via dell’Amore, the path of love, and is considered the least serious of the different paths in the area. As the name suggests, the route made an ode to love, which is reflected along the route taken by various forms of graffiti and padlocks attached to the railings as a symbol of infinite love. This Italian tradition of padlocks you see in several places in Italy. I can really imagine it is wonderful to take a walk to visit the villages. But when you see the paths over the rocks up and down again then you know that you must be an experienced hiker and that it should not be done on a hot day. We were there in the summer, it was very hot and quite an ordeal to stroll through the villages so we have taken the route by train. That is really perfect, you’re fine and is dirt cheap. However, I would like to do once the walking tour but we should really go back in the spring or fall sometime. Unfortunately the photos we have made where one way or another not saved on the camera. So I just have these two pictures I had taken with my phone. To view more photos, please visit this link: images 5 Terra.
