Cinque Terre: Corniglia |
|
|
This village, which looks more like
a rural than a seafaring village, is
the only one in which houses are not
directly on the sea, and rises on
the top of a headland. On the
surrounding hills, vines and olive
trees are grown and it is normal to
bump into women that go or come from
the "cian"
(vineyard plans) with baskets and
bundles on their heads. The first
part of the path that leads to
Vernazza is protected by another dry
masonry which shelters from the sun
and the wind that often blows very
strongly from the sea: the path
winds around twisted olive trees and
goes up again to the top of other
hills covered by holm-oaks and
pinasters. At half the way it is
possible to go down and reach the
sea by a quick hardly traced path
that reveals the beautiful and
isolated Guveno beach. |
