The ring of Volastra - 1st itinerary - Cinque terre

The first route we suggest you to do is the one that goes from Manarola to Corniglia (it will takes 3-4 hours). Starting from Manarola, in via Roma precisely, you’ve to rise the principal street of the village, the one that group together all the characteristic alleys. Very soon asphalt disappear leaving you on a country street surrounded by gardens and irrigation canals, keep going until you get to the asphalted street again. Then you’ll find a stairway in front of you, go up and you’ll be in Volastra. Once in Volastra you’ve to pass through the vineyards and nearby the Sanctuary of Nostra signora della Salute. While walking on this street look in the direction of the sea, you’ll see a beautiful color puzzle, those are Manarola’s houses. Continue walking on the provincial street of the Sanctuaries (strada provinciale dei Santuari) you’ll pass on suggestive ground belts hanged over the sea. Once arrived to Corniglia you’ll be surrounded by the fragrance of the chestnut trees, pines and holm oaks until you arrive to the beautiful church of San Pietro. Seeing that this is not a short walk you could take the train to go back home.
