Italy, Cinque Terre


My 4-day holiday there really was a pleasant event..

"And along the coastline there are five castles, at nearly the same distance one from the other: 'Rubra, Vulnetia, Cornelia, Manium Arula, Rivus Maiorche which now are commonly called Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore not only known in Italy but also the Welsh and British praise them for their wine's nobility. Note worthy to see like a spectacle, the mountains not only in sweet incline but also quick so that even the birds flying over tire. Covered with stones that don't hold back water, vineyards cover the land, so meagre and delicate that seem more like ivy than vines. From here comes wine for the table from a King".G. Bracelli, "De bello hispaniensi orae ligusticae descriptio", 1448
