Global Food Tour

Chapter 313 God-Level Enjoyment!

After sleeping until he woke up naturally, Milan finally gave Zhang Feng a fried chicken. It felt like returning to Venice and Lake Como.

Smelling the rich aroma of coffee, paired with a freshly baked croissant, and eavesdropping on the gossip of people around you, this is the tone of a traditional Italian breakfast. Zhang Feng likes this tone very much, it is very interesting.This kind of breakfast scene always happens in this Caffe Bar day after day, just like the soy milk and fried dough sticks shop in China.

While eating breakfast, Zhang Feng looked at the basic introduction of the next stop, Cinque Terre, so as not to catch himself in the dark.

Cinque Terre is five small villages surrounded by mountains and sea, overlooking the northern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. In Italian, "terra" means land, and this piece of land is like a small island from another world.

The original meaning of "Riviera" can best explain the scenery of Cinque Terre, which is the intersection of mountains, land and sea. More than 1000 years ago, humans transformed steep hillsides into fields suitable for farming and built stone walls with a total length of 7000 meters.

Today, the Cinque Terre's beautiful scenery "facing the sea and blooming in spring" makes it popular with tourists, especially beach lovers and hikers.Terraces, lemon trees, and olive groves have always been the pursuit of literati and artists, and it is also a paradise for photographers.

The Five Fishing Villages is the collective name for the five villages and towns on the cliffs of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. In addition to the mountain roads only for hiking, the five fishing villages are only connected by It is connected by a railway dug along the coast.Generally, you can arrive in La Spezia first, and then take the small train that runs between the five villages every day.We drove about 239 kilometers from Milan to La Spezia, which is the closest small town to Cinque Terre.

Zhang Feng drove to La Spezia train station, where the parking space was actually quite tight. When he first arrived, the parking space was displayed as full, so Zhang Feng had to look for a nearby parking lot. After spending more than ten minutes outside, he did not expect that the parking lot within a radius of one kilometer was full. .In the end, Zhang Feng had no choice but to go back to the train station, but his personality broke out and he saw a car coming out. What are you waiting for?No one wants to compete with me for the vacant parking space!Zhang Feng thought so.

Then Zhang Feng successfully bought a ticket and entered the station. Looking at the graffiti, Zhang Feng had to be convinced that the people especially like graffiti, not only on the street and on the subway, but also on the train. The government probably can't do anything about it.

Cinque Terre usually buys a train day pass, which can take unlimited trains between the five villages in a single day.

Graffiti is everywhere, and the car windows will not let go, but fortunately, every graffiti basically does not block the line of sight.

I have to talk about the trucks here. The trains here also have the difference between express trains and slow trains. The express trains don’t stop in every village. It’s a little bit of attention, but each platform will have a train schedule and a description of the stop site. Pay attention to it. Never get in the wrong car.

Zhang Feng chose to live in Vernazza, the fourth village. The reason why he chose Vernazza instead of the popular Manarola was entirely because Zhang Feng chose a picture from the Italian homepage that he saw in his travel notes. Photo by Vernazza.

The colorful villages surrounded by mountains and sea are so beautiful.

The main street of Vernazza is Roma Street. The two houses are so dense that there is an illusion of inward inclination. The colors are very cartoonish pink, yellow, blue, etc. The reason is that when fishermen return from fishing, they hope to be able to The location of one's own home can be identified from a relatively long distance, so one after another paints the exterior walls of self-driving homes in this bright color.

In Zhang Feng's view, the atmosphere of the Cinque Terre is actually quite simple and unadorned. The small restaurants on the side of the road are full of sun umbrellas, and people are sitting and chatting everywhere.

Zhang Feng's B&B in Vernazza is called Elisabetta. It is located on the mountainside and needs to go up the path next to the main street to get there.

In addition to the train, there are actually hiking routes to and from the villages of the Cinque Terre. If you have enough time, hiking should also be a pretty good experience.Zhang Feng's road to the hotel also happens to be the hiking direction from Vernazza to Corniglia, the third village.

Zhang Feng naturally chose to walk.

It’s a nice sunny day! ! !

The distance between the buildings is super close. When you look up, you can see the blue sky, white clouds and seagulls passing by.

Zhang Feng finally found Elisabetta, the bed and breakfast where he lived. Elisabetta was the name of the hostess of the bed and breakfast.Different from hotels, when staying in a B&B, it is best to communicate with the landlord in advance about the specific check-in time, because the landlord generally does not live here. Only after the time has been determined in advance can he wait for the guest to arrive and check in in advance.

The boss was very enthusiastic and completed the check-in formalities for Zhang Feng in a few seconds with a smile on his face.Before leaving, he did not forget to show off to Zhang Feng with a happy face, so much so that he rushed back to take care of his new-born daughter.

The rooms are a duplex structure with the kitchen and bathroom on the lower floor and bedrooms on the upper floor.

The B&B does not provide breakfast, but there is a capsule coffee machine, and a large box of capsules guarantees unlimited refills.

The bedroom on the upper floor, outside the bedroom is a large terrace with an invincible sea view.

The big terrace on the outer layer, the best way to describe it is ah~wow~wow~, a man, this way of describing the big terrace, it can be seen that the big terrace has brought Zhang Feng a long-lost impulse, which makes Zhang Feng feel very much.

Facing the salty sea breeze, enjoying the sea and sky in the distance, it is a god-level enjoyment.

Really facing the sea, the whole Vernazza is in sight.

There are reef beaches along the coast of Vernazza, exuding a primitive charm of nature.

After putting down the luggage, Zhang Feng's plan was to visit the fifth furthest village, Monterosso, followed by the first village, Riomaggiore, and finally, the second village, Manarola, for dinner at dusk.As for the third village of Corniglia, since it is not close to the sea, it was skipped selectively.In fact, there is only one line for five villages. It is not difficult to travel back and forth with a one-day train ticket. It only takes 5-8 minutes to drive between each village.

Monterosso's platform is also built by the sea, and the second village of Manarola can be seen in the distance.

Monterosso is the only one with a beach among the five villages. It should be that there are more tourists in Italy on vacation. It looks like a good place for a short weekend vacation to bask in the sun.However, if you look closely, the sand on the beach is not fine, it is a bit thick like small stones, but the sea water is still very clean.

The small town of Monterosso is divided into two parts, the new area and the old area. They are the new area of ​​Fikina and the old town of Monterosso. The new area refers to the beach. This beach is also called Fikina Beach. The trail leads to a tunnel through which the old town of Monterosso is located.

Fikina Beach is also quite beautiful, with an intoxicating azure, so Zhang Feng didn't go to the village, but just walked casually by the beach.

Tired from walking, Zhang Feng sat down. There are ice cream shops everywhere. Buying a Gelato and sharing a Gelato on the beach is a very cool thing without thinking about it.
