Monterosso al Mare – a gorgeous beach along Cinque Terre’s coastline

A group of five beautiful coastal villages Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso dating back to early medieval period are collectively known as Cinque Terre.
We rented a car to check out hidden treasures of different villages and to enjoy a scenic drive on narrow twisted roads along the cliff edges. The largest village of all, Riomaggiore, has colourful constructions coming down from the cliff to a tiny harbour. Monterosso is a stunning beach that artistically merges both an old town and a modern city. All the five villages are connected through hiking trails and each one offers unique scenic coastal sights.
