Montorosso al Mare, Italy

October 23rd, 2010

Montorosso, the northern-most village in the Cinque Terre is said to be the most glamorous with expensive resort hotels and elaborate food.

These first two pictures of a carving on the side of a mountain; not sure who it is, but he must have been trained by Bob, look at those abs!

Slightly to the right of the carving,
buildings & greenery



The picture on the left, is at the top of the mountain, just to the right of where the carving is.  Not sure what the building was, no name and wasn't allowed in, beautifully designed though with the brick and windows.  It's also very green and lush in Italy as you will see with more pictures.


Pretty Purple Flower













Isn't this purple flower pretty? 
I sure enjoyed looking at it!

Around the corner and up the street is where this picture was taken.  Notice the trees on the top of the mountain; pretty....


















This picture below is one of my favorites.  I'm not sure how I was able to catch the sun in that exact spot but I did and do you see the boat way far away in the distance?  pretty.....

Hotel at the top of Montorosso


The picture to the right here is looking the opposite way in Montorosso and the building at the top is a hotel.  Quite the hike to get to it as it's all uphill....

In the far distance is the next village Vernazza.

Pretty.......
