Volastra

Climb to Volastra to discover the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1997 for the virtuous integration of the human landscape with the nature of this enchanting but extremely fragile place. The Cinque Terre have in fact been cultivated since ancient times with the construction of terraces supported by the famous "dry stone walls" which have preserved the integrity of the territory up to the present day from the risk of frequent landslides of the sedimentary rock subjected to marine erosion. In Volastra, a break in the shade awaits us with a snack of pesto, focaccia and white wine which will offer us the opportunity to delve into the local culinary traditions and the history of Cinque Terre wine production.
