Stop it, you. The Cinque Terre is one of my favourite places in the world. I have been there 3 times now for extended hiking on the off trails(with a guide each time).
La Casa Dei Limoni in Monterosso was base camp. I think I might know your Gelateria in Manarola. My CT food memory first and foremost is Pesto. A lovely little spot in Vernazza, wish I could find the name of the restaurant. Owner was guide Alessandro’s close friend.
Will you go back? I will for certain. The last trip was almost 6 years ago.
See what I meant when I said you and I will have much to talk about ? Cinque Terre only the beginning.
