Discover the trail that goes through ten Cinque Terre where, the sea, the hills, the wineyards, the old foshing villages, and the Genovese style churches add together to result in enthralling scenery. A unique characteristic of the area are the terraced wineyards sustained by dry walling, a perfect example of landscape architecture created by man in inaccessible surroundings. Panoramic foot paths are well used by walkers and trekkers alike, and along some paths one is likely to meet up with horseriders.

A pleasant walk around the mountain of Portofino or a boat trip will take you to S. Fruttuoso di Capodimonte, where  at the half of the 10th century some Greek monks built a temple to bury  the martyr Fruttuoso, whose corpse was brought  from Spain. A beautiful abbey still stands today dominating the bay.

The Christ of the Abysses: In the waters of the bay of San Fruttuoso in the current Marine Protected Area of Portofino, a beautiful bronze statue  2.50 meters high stands out of the transparency and the blue of the bottom of the sea, the vegetal decoration and the darts of the fauna, in the primordial and solitary silence. This  floating figure stands with its arms holding up to the sky in sign of invocation. The sweet expression on its inclined face strikes not only the brain, but also the heart of man. It is a dive into the history of diving and at the same time a hope for the future.
