Liguria Cinqueterre - Cocktails at sunset and dinner by the sea

Cinqueterre are without doubt much different from the rest of the Ligurian coast, untouched nature and beautiful landscapes, small villages nestled at the foot of the coast, overlooking vineyards and amazing sunsets to relax tasting aperitifs on the beach. To reach Cinqueterre it is advisable to leave the car in La Spezia and take one of the many and frequent trains from the station that in a few minutes connect with the 5 Cinque Terre villages.

Riomaggiore

We start our Cinque Terre tour from the first land that can be reached from La Spezia, Riomaggiore. Small fishermen village, enchanting for its location, it has preserved over time its natural features and is appreciated for the wide overhanging rock and the beautiful valley. In Riomaggiore there is not a sand beach so is not raccomanded for those who love to lay towel on the beach and enjoy the sun .

The must for an aperitif in Riomaggiore is the terrace with breathtaking views of Piè de Mà wine bar placed on the initial part of the famous via dell'amore and where there is no table service for an aperitif, with a good selection of doc labels cinqueterre both for a single glass (6 euro) or bottle (25/30 euro) and with the possibility to taste and dine overlooking the sea with delicious dishes such as ravioli muscle stewed with fresh tomatoes , tuna in oil with chickpeas and onion, pappardelle with Mediterranean fish sauce and linguine with pesto, green beans and potatoes.

Leaving touristic area moving at the top of the country, is definitely worth a dinner Ripa del Sole Restaurant (de Gasperi street 282, 0187.920143 ) that offers high quality at fair prices ( 35/40 ) with dishes like octopus stew on grilled bread, sea bass and sea bream fillets as well as a well-stocked and satisfying wine cellar.
