Italy - Cinque Terre

Hiking trip in the northwest of Italy in the Liguria region along the coast with the Cinque Terre villages. The original villages were agricultural and located high on the mountain side as a lookout distance against pirates coming in from the sea. The mountains sides were extensively terraced for farm crops. In later years many of the terraced were abandoned and lower seaside villages were built.
