| Le Cinque
Terre - Manarola |
| |
 |
Situated on a
rocky pedestal overhanging the
sea,
Manarola looks as a
compact group of houses brightly
coloured, almost all with a
terrace on the top, i.e. the
typical "cassola" where in
September, after the grape
harvest, the best grapes are
lied in the sun to obtain the
wine called Sciacchetrà. |

| Here, like in
Riomaggiore, the
stream that flows between the houses is
almost completely covered today and
forms the current main street which ends
at the characteristic square cut in the
rocks, where boats are hoisted with the
strength of one's arms. The chessboard
square of the S. Lorenzo church, in the
village upper part, often becomes - out
of necessity - a playing round for kids,
whose joyful voice replaces the noise of
cars. Now a deviation towards Groppo and
Volastra - two quiet inland hamlets - is
worth the while. Half an hour walk on a
path amidst vines and century-old olive
trees leads to the top of the Volastra
hill where the light air and the large
green opening surrounded by trees in
front of the Santuario della Madonna
della Salute (Health's Madonna Sanctuary)
enable to enjoy a wonderful view. |
