To each of these five villages of the Cinque Terre, halfway up the hill, corresponds a santuario (Sanctuary) to which the inhabitants have always been tied by profound devotion. Five churches linked to their respective villages by steep mule-tracks, real \u201cVia Crucis\u201d routes still used today by believers during annual Festivals. The Via dei Santuari (road of the Sanctuaries) is of great historic and naturalistic interest, its horizontal route which unites all five buildings of worship. We are dealing with a historic itinerary, to do on foot, on horseback or by bicycle, which crosses terraced land, allotments, old cottages, small nuclei of houses often abandoned and which gives uncomparable views of the Cinque Terre and notable points of historic and spiritual reflection. A simple route, easy for anyone, which can be split up into stages.<\/p>\n<\/div>
