Hey babes! How you're doing? Today I have for you the second and last part of my trip to Italy, to Cinque Terre villages (if you want to see the first part of my trip click here. The first thing you need to know is that Cinque Terre is a group of five coast villages that belong to the World Heritage. They are in La Spezia province. The villages are Riomaggiore, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia and Manarola.
Después de nuestro día en Pisa, mi amiga y yo cogimos un tren desde Pisa a La Spezia, una pequeña ciudad donde teníamos nuestro hotel. Nos decidimos a coger el hotel ahí en vez de en Cinque Terre porque son pueblos muy pequeños que se llenan enseguida con tantos turistas. Además desde La Spezia hay tren directo a Cinque Terre y son solamente 5min de trayecto.
Cuando llegamos a la estación de tren en La Spezia fuimos andando hasta nuestro hotel NH La Spezia . Según íbamos andando nos fuimos fijando en las calles y casas preciosas que forman la ciudad. !Yo no imaginaba que fuera una ciudad tan bonita! Además nuestro hotel era perfecto. La habitación estaba genial y desayunamos todos los días en buffet libre en la terraza! ¿Qué más se puede pedir? jajaja.
After our day in Pisa, my friend and I took a train from Pisa to La Spezia, a little city where we had our hotel. We decided to stay there because Cinque Terre villages are really small and sometimes it can be difficult to find places to stay when there are a lot of tourists. Besides, in La Spezia you can catch a train directly to Cinque Terre and it's only a 5 minutes journey.
When we arrived at La Spezia train station we walked to our hotel NH La Spezia. When we were walking we discovered a lot of beautiful streets and houses, I hadn't imagined it would be such a beautiful city! And the hotel was perfect, the room was amazing and we had bufet breakfast on beautiful balcony! What else could you ask for? hahaha.
Beautiful streets in La Spezia
RIOMAGGIORE
Riomaggiore fue el primer pueblo de Cinque Terre que visitamos. Comimos en La Spezia nada más llegar desde Pisa y después pusimos rumbo a Riomaggiore. Nada más llegar nos dedicamos a recorrer el pueblo para ver todos sus rincones y casas. !Era precioso! Además estuvimos mucho rato haciendo fotos porque con la cantidad de turistas que había era un poco difícil. Decidimos cenar allí, así que nos cogimos comida en un take away y nos fuimos a un mirador en la parte alta del pueblo que daba hacia el mar para ver anochecer. Fue genial porque estuvimos prácticamente solas y pudimos disfrutar de unas vistas increíbles. Creo que puedo afirmar que Riomaggiore fue de los cinco mi pueblo favorito :)
Riomaggiore was the first Cinque Terre viallge we visited. We had lunch in La Spezia after arriving from Pisa and then we head off to Riomaggiore. As soon as we got there we decided to wander around to see everything. It was beautiful! We spent a lot of time taking pictures because there were a lot of tourists and sometimes it was difficult to get the perfect pic. We also decided to had take-away-dinner so we could go to a bay window to watch the sunset. It was great cause we were almost alone in there and we could enjoy some fantastic views. I think that Riomaggiore was my favourite village of all five :)

CORNIGLIA
Al día siguiente por la mañana pusimos rumbo a Corniglia, aunque se nos hizo un poco tarde ya que nos fuimos a hacer algunas compras en las rebajas de La Spezia jajaja ;) Llegamos casi a las dos de la tarde a la parada del tren de Corniglia. Este pueblo es especial, ya que es el único de los cinco que no tiene salida al mar, por lo que está encima de una "montaña" o "acantilado". Así que para llegar hay que subir más de 200 escalones... Nosotras pasamos mucho calor ya que elegimos la peor hora para subir, pero bueno, al final lo logramos ;) Nada más llegar arriba fuimos directas a comer porque nos moríamos de hambre. Después ya nos dedicamos a ver el pueblo, recorriendo sus estrechas calles. !La verdad es que fue toda una aventura Corniglia! jajaja
The next morning we head off to Corniglia, although we went a little bit late because we went sale shopping in La Spezia hahaha ;) We arrived at Corniglia almost at two o'clock. This village was special because it's the only one that has no coast, which means that is above a "mountain" or "cliff". So to finally arrived at the village you have to climb up more than 200 stairs... It was so hot because it was the worst hour to climb up stairs, but at the end we made it ;) As soon as we arrived at the top part we had lunch cause we were starving! After lunch we wander through the narrow streets of Corniglia. It was such an experience being at that village hahaha.

MANAROLA
Después de visitar Corniglia fuimos a Manarola. Los cinco pueblos están conectados por una línea de tren que tarda unos 5min entre pueblo y pueblo así que el transporte es bastante rápido. Lo que más me gustó de Manarola fue andar por un camino que te permite ver todo el pueblo desde fuera. !Las vistas eran una pasada! Nosotras estuvimos un rato sentadas admirando las vistas y viendo pasar a turistas de todas las nacionalidades. También decidimos cenar ahí para luego volver a nuestro hotel en La Spezia.
After visiting Corniglia we went to Manarola. The five villages are connected by train and it takes 5 minutes between each village so it's quite fast and easy to move around there. My favourite thing in Manarola was walking through a path that allows you to see the whole village from the outside. The views were amazing! We spent a lot of time just sitting there admiring the views and watching the tourists from all parts of the world. We also decided to had dinner there. After that we went back to our hotel in La Spezia.

MONTEROSSO
Al día siguiente por la mañana fuimos a Monterosso, el único pueblo con playa (aunque dan al mar ninguno tenía playa, solo embarcaderos). Sin duda alguna también fue el pueblo que tenía más gente, la playa estaba llena jajaja. La verdad es que nos gustó muchísimo por su ambiente, las calles estrechas y las maravillosas vistas al mar que tenía. Creo que podría decir que fue mi segundo pueblo favorito después de Riomaggiore. Me llamó mucho la atención que todas las sombrillas de la playa fueran iguales, haciendo que la playa quedara perfecta. Además comimos en una restaurante con vistas al mar, lo que fue aún más genial ;)
The next morning we went to Monterosso, the only village with a beach (even though they all have coast none of them have an actual beach). Without any doubt it was the most crowded village, the beach was packed hahaha. The truth is that we liked a lot its atmosphere, the narrow streets and the beautiful sea views. I could say that it was my second favourite village after Riomaggiore. It caught my attention that all the beach umbrellas were the same, making the beach look perfect. We also had lunch in a terrace with amazing sea views, which was so great ;)
VERNAZZA
Y por último llegamos a Vernazza. !Sólo puedo decir que me encantó! Las casas de colores, la iglesia, el embarcadero, la gente bañándose... todo era perfecto! Antes de llegar al embarcadero descubrimos en una de las calles una gruta que daba directamente al mar, fue una pasada. Para mí fue la última parada perfecta que ponía fin a un viaje perfecto ;)
And lastly we arrived at Vernazza. It just can say that I loved it! All the colour houses, the church, the pier... everuthing was perfect! Before arriving aat the pier we discovered a street with a cave that led us directly to the sea, it was amazing. For me it was the perfect last stop for a perfect trip ;)

Al día siguiente pusimos rumbo a la estación de tren de La Spezia para volver a Pisa, donde cogimos nuestro avión de vuelta a España (aunque con dos horas de retraso, pero bueno...).
The next day we head off to La Spezia train station to get back to Pisa, where we got our flight back home (even though it was two hours late...)
