Description
One of my favorite hikes in Cinque Terre Italy is a short one, only about an hour, from the town of Riomaggiore to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Montenero high on a promontory above the town. I think it is best done early in the morning so that you arrive at the top soon after sunrise. On a sunny day, it is one of the most beautiful sights you will see in Cinque Terre! You can see the town of Riomaggiore directly below and also all the way to the northernmost town, Monterosso, in the cove near the farthest point of land. You can also see all the villages in the mountains which have their own sanctuaries associated with the other Cinque Terre villages. Our latest hike to this spot was on May Day (May 1) which is a holiday. For that reason the church was actually open, one of only several days in the year that it is open! I had never seen the inside of the church and even wondered if it was a functional church anymore. So the hike was doubly rewarding. In 1997, the entire Cinque Terre area was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
