Cinque Terre: Riomaggiore to Portovenere
All Three Islands
As we approach Portovenere by trail, we see the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto lined up.
Leaving Riomaggiore
We pass a poppy field as we climb to the Sanctuary of Montenero.
At the top of the ridge we join the Road of the Sanctuaries, a trail that statrs in Monterosso al Mare and connects the top of every Cinque Terre village, parallel to the cliffside trail. But we will take it from this point above Riomaggiore toward Portovenere.
The village of Acquasanta
This small village is inhabited primarily by two families. The cemetery stones show them mingled over the centuries.
The trail to Portovenere
The last part of the trail runs along the steep peninsula leading to the bay.
