cinque terre
The Cinque Terre (« Five Lands » UNESCO World Heritage Site) is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the eastern part of Liguria region, to the west of the city of La Spezia. "The Five Lands" is composed of five villages, from west to east: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park. The Cinque Terre is noted for its beauty. Over centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible "modern" development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach them from the outside. It is a very popular tourist destination.
