Conclusion of tour.
Liguria, narrow strip of land between the sea and the mountains, is world-famous especially for a stretch known as “Cinque Terre.” However, there are innumerable other places of note. There are stretches of coast where the rugged cliffs plunge directly into the sea, and where fishing is still one of the main sources of income.
