Manarola is the second Cinque terre (village). It is have an easy vineyard walk. From Riomaggiore you will have about 1 km of walk to Manarola with famouse Via dell Amore. Attached to the train station by a 200 meters tunnel, Manarola spills down a ravine to the wild coastline at the Ligurian sea. Manarola has tiny harbor and the town's swimming area but it is not real beach. In the town there is a little square known as Piazza Capellini. It is new square from 2004 which offers the residents and guests a fun place. Like other villages Manarola is full of narrow stone streets and steps and colored houses.
