Description
After hiking from Manarola (town in the distance) to Corniglia (closest town) in the Cinque Terre region of Italy, I stopped to ask the tourist information person where the trailhead was for the hike to the next town (Vernazza). He made the somewhat unorthodox suggestion that, instead of taking the ‘low’ trail, I hike up the road to the hilltop town of San Barnardino and then hike down to Vernazza from there. I have no idea why he suggested that since most people do not go to Cinque Terre to hike on the roads! He might have intuited that I had wanted to go to San Bernardino anyway or that I was looking for something different. Since both were true, I decided to give it a go. It was a steady but smooth hour-long climb (a short reprieve from some of the narrow and rocky trails) and had the added benefit of affording fabulous views of Corniglia, the Mediterranean, and the Cinque Terre coast at many places along the way. The Ligurian coast, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and comprise a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
