Photo taken in Manarola, in the Cinque Terre National Park (Five miles of rocky coast in eastern Liguria).
Here, five villages Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore make up the Cinque Terre; this zone is characterized by the presence of precipitous slopes which have been cultivated into vineyards by means of fatiguing system of terracing.
From a research carried out by naturalists it seems that, over thousands of years, the inhabitants of the Cinque Terre have carried out an enormous task in constructing and repairing these famous short dry walls "muretti". So much so that the two-metre-high, eleven thousand kilometre long network of dry walls is comparable to the Great Wall of China.

The cat was sleeping calmly in the pottery for sale. Would it go including in the price ?

Foto tomada en Manarola, uno de los cinco pueblos que constituyen el Parque Nacional de Cinque Terre (Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola y Riomaggiore ).
Todo el parque nacional está trabajado por el hombre en forma de cultivo en terrazas; un trabajo equivalente a haber construido una muralla de dos metros de altura por once mil kilómetros de anchura. Una construcción como la muralla china hoy en día. Increíble, no?

El gato estaba tranquilamente echando la siesta entre la cerámica en venta, iría incluído en el precio de la fuente? :-D
