"The Ligurian coast between Cinque Terre and Portovenere is a cultural
landscape of great scenic and cultural value. The layout and disposition
of the small towns and the shaping of the surrounding landscape,
overcoming the disadvantages of a steep, uneven terrain, encapsulate the
continuous history of human settlement in this region over the past
millennium." -http://whc.unesco.org
"I'm very happy to show you one of the 5 villages of Cinque Terre (meaning, "five lands").
They are all small villages on the rocky coast of East Liguria.
They are linked by a path called "Lovers' walk" ---
as you can imagine, it's a romantic place!
Thank you so much Marta for sharing with me this postcard with amazing view!
Note: The five villages are:
1. Monterosso al Mare
2. Vernazza
3. Corniglia
4. Manarola
5. Riomaggiore
