Description
If it�s Thursday, it must be market day in Monterosso al Mare! There are beautiful fruits and vegetables, along with assorted craft items, prepared foods and made-in-China junk. All near the waterfront and Piazza Garibaldi in the Old Town. Monterosso is one of the villages of Cinque Terre, in Italy. Travelling southward from Milan, Monterosso is the first town and the most touristed, since it boasts a proper beach and is home to several larger, fancier hotels. 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

I don't particularly like to eat them, but they are lovely in color and "painterly" design.
