The blue path - 2nd itinerary - Cinque Terre

The second route we want to suggest is the one that goes from Riomaggiore to Monterosso, passing through the other three lands: Corniglia, Manarola and Vernazza. This path is divided in four itinerary: the first one is known as “via dell’amore” (street of love) and links Riomaggiore with Menarola. The second links Manarola with Corniglia, the third Corniglia with Vernazza and the last Vernazza with Monterosso. The via dell’amore it’s a suggestive and romantic path where you can find the original “bar dell’amore” (love bar) that has a beautiful balcony that overlooks the sea. The way Manarola – Corniglia starts at Manarola’s station where, once you’ve passed through the tunnel, you’ve to choose: if you go left, you’ll go in direction of the seacoast and then go up on the ancient pavement which passes nearby the graveyard, if you go right you’ll have a walk on the promenade Birolli di Punta Bonfiglio, up to Palaedo stopover. The route that brings from Corniglia to Vernazza starts from the Ponte del Canale (Canal bridge) in Corniglia until you reach the panoramic point that overlooks Guvano’s beach. Moving beyond the Guvano’s bay, you’ll have to climb a street that arrive about 208 meters high, where rise a village called Prevo. Then you can take the way down in direction of Vernazza. The last path brings from Vernazza to Monterosso. From Vernazza’s square you’ve to walk on the panoramic Costa Messorano, walking the Cravarla valley and Linaro coast, up to the valley of Fosso Mulinaro. Once arrived on the Acquapendente basin you’ll have to go down on a steep stairway to reach Punta Corone and then continue in direction of Monterosso.
