The park national of Cinque Terre is one of the best preserved areas of the Mediterranean. Historical and geomorphologic reasons have forbidden excessive housing development and the creation of major roadways. Human activity and especially viticulture, have contributed to create a unique landscape in which the development of the typical stone walls is so extensive as to equal that of the famous Great Wall of China. All these, combined with a crystal clear sea, an interesting architectural landscape, a varied and extensive network of paths (one of the most enviable in the whole Mediterranean), makes the Cinque Terre an increasingly desired location among Italian and foreign tourists. This is not so much the result of a successful promotional campaign but rather the spontaneous recognition of the uniqueness of the place, of its beauty, of the enjoyment one gets from or visiting.
