Description
During the train ride from Milan to Riomaggiore, I was awestruck at the beautiful blue of the Ligurian Sea. After dumping my bags at the B&B in Riomaggiore, I couldn't wait to get my camera out. Going down the steps from atop the hillside, this was one of the first views of the rocky shoreline to the south of the town. The afternoon sun was warming the rocks and a lot of people were out just soaking in the sunshine. Many were also waiting for the sunset since this is a popular hangout spot as the sun goes down. Riomaggiore is the southernmost of the Cinque Terre towns of Italy. Cinque Terre is a string of five centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline in the Liguria region of Italy. In each of the five towns of the region, colorful houses and ancient vineyards cling to steep terraces and fishing boats bob in harbors. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
