The city
Riomaggiore is the easternmost village of the Cinque Terre and the first train stop leaving La Spezia. The colorful houses descend a narrow valley to the marina, and on the hilltop stands the Castello di Riomaggiore. It is the starting point of the Via dell'Amore to Manarola, and in season boats run from here to Portovenere.
