La Spezia – Italy

La Spezia will always remind me fond memories – Punctuating the rocky coastal poetry of western Liguria like picturesque full stops, the Cinque Terre are five hardy fishing villages that until the end of the 19th century were accessible only by sea or via steep mule tracks. Today this protected area, which enjoys National Park status, is one of best places in Italy for a holiday that combines fresh air, spectacular scenery, good food and wine and just the right amount of exercise – on the celebrated coast path that links the five villages. Shooting these pics of the beautiful buildings is something i will always remember.
