Cinque Terre National Park: the road of love

We walk through the Cinque Terre National Park, along the so called “Road of love” that connects the villages Riomaggiore and Manarola.

The name “Road of love” came into being with a story written in the 1970s by a journalist, though actually it was always called this way by local couples that came to this romantic and isolated place. It is even said that love burgeons between two people that go all along the road together!

Walking along the road, here in Cinque Terre National Park, we meet a lot of couples of all nationalities and ages, until we reach the part of the road covered by padlocks, selected as a symbol of love.
