MichelleVia dell'Amore

As a brave traveller, we are geared toward the experience. We set out from home and we know that whatever lies ahead, it will be different. And we seek that difference as a bastion to set us apart from everyone else seeking the same experience but what we don’t always set out to accommodate is the fact that experiences often impact on us negatively or that we will one day find ourselves in a situation that may leave us disjointed, bruised or damaged. In the middle of the road trip down Route 66 or that cruise down the Amazon, how do we find the time and the capacity to stop…stop, take stock and heal ourselves?
Via dell’Amore is the famous stretch of walkway between Manarola and Riomaggiore. The best time of day to travel this way is as the sun is setting, passing over the sea, diving into the olive groves of the villages and flattening into their terraces. The walk is paved and will take about 40 minutes to walk it at a leisurely pace but if you are doing the entire walk between the villages, start early in the day otherwise if you plan on doing a pit stop along the way at any of the villages, you may find yourself walking to Monterosso as the sun is going down. In the height of summer, you'll find yourself with plenty of company but keep it in mind if you are doing it in the off peak season.
