Riomaggiore, the nearest village to La Spezia to which is connected by a scenic road and by rail, is named after the stream crossing it. A picturesque footpath along the cliff walls called the Love Walk links it with the neighbouring Manarola. Situated on a narrow valley descending to sea, Riomaggiore’s charm is in the interesting architecture with the small houses built almost on top of each other and the narrow winding alleyways.  It’s interesting to see the seashore and the upper side of San Giovanni Battista, with its two wonderful twin doors made of marble, which are placed in its southern side and which date before the church itself. Above the village, the Sanctuary of "Madonna di Montenero" stands out, built on the homonymous promontory and which is the last of the gulf the Cinque Terre. Tramonti area, which goes from Portovenere to Riomaggiore, has been made into National Park of Five Lands and into a park for marina life together with the flora and fauna.
