The Cinque Terre are one of the Mediterranean areas and semi-natural uncontaminated more and more extensive in Liguria, which is mainly due to historical reasons and geomorphological that have prevented an excessive building expansion and construction of major roads (which cover more internally Val Vara). Human activities, especially the vineyards, have helped to create a landscape unique in the world where the development of the typical "walls dry reaches of the famous Chinese wall. All of this together with characteristics of a crystalline sea, architectural value, a network of paths between the richest and enviable in Mediterranean areas, has allowed a goal increasingly sought after by Italian and foreign tourists. This is less the result of a successful promotional campaign as a spontaneous recognition of the uniqueness of a place, its beauty, pleasure that they derive from staying or visiting .

 From the point of view of tourists - It 'important to note that the Cinque Terre are not identifiable as a classic tourist destination ... particularly Manarola and Corniglia everything has remained as before, nothing adapted to the new tourist vocation these places, the life of the inhabitants is only marginally influenced by tourism. This is without a doubt the strength of the Cinque Terre: a different dimension, away from the stresses of city and at the same time far from the tourist paradise ' "all inclusive" where everything is carefully planned and organized. Of course this requires sacrifices uniqueness: the difficulty of travel, the inconvenience of parking, lack of services, tiring salts and downs ... The Cinque Terre are ultimately not for everybody, not for those who love (and is also a respectable point of view) only a holiday comfortable and served ... We do not want to run the risk that tourists can expect something different from reality, we know that those who truly loves the Cinque Terre no different from what would have!
