It's been several years since we last wandered around Riomaggiore in Cinque Terre and we take the train four stops from Monterosso to reintroduce ourselves to the city. We've passed through Riomaggiore many times on the beginning of hikes to Portovenere and occasionally stopped at the harbor for lunch, but today we wander more thoroughly through the streets. We start at the train station and follow a path around the cliff (a journey that we normally take by way of a tunnel through the hill) to upper Riomaggiore.
At the harbor, we stop for a slice of pesto bruschetta and a glass of wine at a table with a view.
After lunch, we walk out into the harbor and take a few more pictures up the coast with views of the four other Cinque Terre villages, Monterosso al Mare (our base) the farthest away.
It's been a great day to return to and revisit Riomaggiore (and a tasty lunch).
