Cinque Terre at Christmas

Cinque Terre at Christmas

The Italian Riviera’s Cinque Terre coast boasts five colorful, centuries-old villages perched on rocky cliffs. In December, the off-season, the villages are quiet and picturesque, adorned with Christmas decorations. We explored Manarola, with its world-record nativity scene, and hiked around the viilages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Our apartment in Manarola offered stunning sea views and proximity to the nativity scene. We savored local specialties like pesto, trofie noodles, focaccia, and Vino Delle Cinque Terre. Despite most restaurants being closed, we enjoyed a wine tasting at Enoteca Internazionale in Monterosso. Parking in a nearby garage made our stay convenient before heading to San Gimignano.
