Borgo Storico di Manarola

Built in the valley of the torrente Groppo, until 1950 the stream which runs through the town was completely uncovered and 11 stone bridges allowed the people to cross from one side to the other. Over the next thirty years the stream was gradually covered over. The ancient village was destroyed by Saracen pirates (in 849) and the surviving people fled in land to live. When the seas were made safe again in the 11th century, people came back to settle here under the protection of the Republic of Genova. By the 1200's cultivation of vines was not only established but the wine they produced was sought after. The church of San Lorenzo was begun in 1338. The patron saint is celebrated on the 10th of August with a procession through the streets carrying a statue of him. The castle which protected the town from pirates is now a private home, you can see the garden from the panoramic walk, it is on the rock immediately above the port. Manarola is now famous for its Christmas nativity scene which is the biggest in the world. Figures outlined in thousands of lights cover the hillside. Also an Easter scene is made.

    Really great day trip between the 5 villages. Our tour guides - Anna and Guillardo - work really well together to make the day run as smoothly as possible and they give 100% to their positions. I would encourage people to plan this trip into their travel itinerary.

    Great day! Wonderful Hike with wonderful tour guides. We had Christian, Irini and Ana. They made us feel welcome and comfortable. We had a great Lunch at a local restaurant. It was an extra 17.50 pp cash only. We had plenty of time in each town, and took a boat ride that showed us a different view point of the Cinque Terre!! 5/5

    This was the best tour I’ve ever been on. Anna, Chris and Irene were amazing tour guides. They are extremely knowledgeable about the area. The views were unreal. The hike is challenging, but so worth it. There were a few bars just past the half way point. The lunch offered is a must. It is a cash lunch so make sure to bring some with you.

    I loved it! The time spent in each town is enough to get to know them and even swim for a little while. Special thanks to Manuel, who was an awesome guide!
