We are staying in Monterosso al Mare which is one of the five towns knows as the Cinque Terre. The town is very busy during the day with tourists that are trying to see all 5 towns in one day. The beach in Monterosso is the best beach to visit if you are looking to go in the water. The hotel is located up several stairs. Although I didn’t count is probably close to 100 stairs. The town is divided between an old and new part. A tunnel connects the two parts of the town. Most people don’t drive here because it is too difficult. The town is known for all of it’s lemon and olive trees. I see so many lemons on the trees that are going to go bad and shocked that people aren’t out picking them. I of course had to try the lemon gelato.
