悬崖边的故事 A cliffside story

马纳罗拉，五渔村国家公园，利古里亚，意大利

蜡笔画一样的房子层叠而下，延伸至地中海，马纳罗拉因此美景而出名，如同今天的照片一样，这里看起来就像童话故事中的场景。镶嵌在意大利利古里亚海岸崎岖悬崖上，马纳罗拉是组成五渔村国家公园的五个村庄之一，被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。而马纳罗拉（Manarola）这个名字可能是从拉丁语“Magna rota”演变而来的，在当地方言中变成了“Magna roea”，意思是“大轮子”，以此向该村历史悠久的水车致敬。马纳罗拉的历史可以追溯到1338年，它被认为是五渔村最古老的村庄，其历史根植于渔业和酿酒业。夏克特拉是这一地区独有的餐后甜酒，在意大利诗人的诗篇中，这种酒早已成为不朽的名酒。沿着这里的“爱之路”漫步，您可以感受到这个地区独有的浪漫和魅力，这条风景优美的滨海小径连接着马纳罗拉和五渔村的另一个村庄里奥马焦雷。在马纳罗拉，时间会变得慢下来，那是海边的魔法开始发挥作用了。

Manarola, Cinque Terre National Park, Liguria, Italy

Known for its rows of pastel houses that stretch down to the Mediterranean Sea, Manarola, seen in today's image, is a picturesque village on the Italian Riviera. Perched on the rugged cliffs of the Ligurian coast, it's one of the five villages that make up Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The name 'Manarola' might have evolved from the Latin 'Magna rota,' which means 'large wheel,' a nod to the village's historical mill wheel.

Believed to be the oldest village in the Cinque Terre, dating to 1338, Manarola's history is rooted in fishing and winemaking. Sciacchetrà, a dessert wine unique to this area, has long been immortalized in the verses of Italian poets. Take a walk along the Via dell'Amore, or 'Path of Love'—a scenic coastal trail connecting Manarola to its neighboring village, Riomaggiore—and you can sense the romance and charm that defines this region. Legend has it that the footpath became a meeting place for lovers from the two villages. Time slows down when you're in Manarola, and the magic of the country's coastal heritage comes to life.
