The beautiful Vernazza in the Cinque Terre seen from above. A few months ago I walked the beautiful path that goes from Monterosso to Vernazza passing from above. Very beautiful path, slightly difficult, but when you are about to arrive at the beautiful village of Vernazza it offers an unparalleled view.

The path that goes from Monterosso to Vernazza passing through the mountains. Last year I thought about taking a trip to the Cinque Terre to walk a couple of paths. Unfortunately one of my favorites was closed (the one that goes from Monterosso to Vernazza passing by the sea) and I only discovered it when I got there. I only discovered later that on the park website there is a very up-to-date section (here) that tells you in real time if a path is not passable. We therefore opted for a path, perhaps a little more challenging but equally spectacular: Monterosso, Madonna di Soviore, Santuario di Reggio, Vernazza. The photos that I am publishing in this post are of the last stretch, downhill and very beautiful, that goes down to Vernazza.

The center of the village of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre. Some time ago, in winter, I was in Vernazza and it was almost shocking to walk in such an uncrowded village. Right in January and with the Sentiero Azzurro closed you can fully enjoy the village.

The small port of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre seen from above. Some time ago, while I was at home, I went to the Cinque Terre to do some trekking. Unfortunately the classic Sentiero Azzurro (the one that goes from Monterosso to Vernazza on the sea side) was closed for maintenance so, with my wife, we decided to try walking uphill to the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Soviore and then, once at the top, we went down the path that, passing by Nostra Signora di Reggio, descends to Vernazza. From above the village of Vernazza is always splendid, don't you think?

The sbatacchio arches between the houses in the village of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre. Walking through the Ligurian villages you often see these architectural structures that connect the houses in the alleys. These arches, called sbatacchio arches, are elements built to increase the stability of the buildings especially when the distance between the walls is small (and in Liguria it is almost a constant).

The village of Vernazza seen from the top of the path The last time I was in the Cinque Terre I walked the path from Monterosso to Vernazza passing by the Sanctuary of Soviore. You climb a lot and then, when you go down to the village, you have a slightly different view than that of the Sentiero Azzurro. I took many photos of which this is one of the most beautiful for me. The only shame is that the sun's glare, the distance and a bit of haze didn't allow for a clear photo.
