About this place

Park the car in La Spezia and let the coastal train do the hopping while you walk the clifftop stretches between villages, vineyard on one side, sea on the other. Stay in Manarola or quiet Corniglia rather than busy Vernazza, and eat trofie al pesto in its birthplace. September is the sweet spot.
