Village of Manarola



Manarola

The village of Manarola is surrounded by vines and is situated along a stream. The wine of Manarola is very famous and the "Via dell’ Amore" starts here: an easy to walk, paved path a distance of two kilometers, connecting Manarola to Riomaggiore. In the upper side of the village, you should visit the church of San Lorenzo (1338) with its beautiful rose window dating back to the 14th century. I particularly liked Manarola because of all the boats and fishing equipment. Tom and the girls swam for only a short while and then we all decided to get a bite to eat before we head for the last village, Riomaggiore. We had amazing focaccia and red wine.
