The photo labeled Riomaggiore is clearly Manarola. It is nearly the same photo as the one properly labelled Manarola.

Absolutely not! The pictures are correct. I have been there may times, as we have a house in Levanto, north of Monterosso.

"There are nominal fees to use the more popular walking trails"

Ouch! Figures, please! I might be going there and would like to know what "nominal" means in Italian tourist business... Sigmundur 19:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, "nominal" means nominal. I wanna say that it wasn't more than 5 euro for three days of use. (we just got back about a week ago)

Removed tags placed June 2008

I did a quick edit then removed the advert, cleanup, and tone tags. There was no mention on this talk page as to why the tags were put there in the first place. That is not polite wikipedia etiquette, but I could see why. "Grungy and overcrowded" is a cultural opinion :) As I recall, there is bus service but I never used it, maybe I will do some more research or leave that for a more experienced traveler to put in. A lovely place in early spring when I was there.--Rcollman (talk) 12:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No access for autos? Really?

The article states, "Paths, trains and boats connect the villages and cars can not reach it from the outside." Has this changed in recent years? My wife and I drove into Riomaggiore in 2005. There was a train from La Spezia into the area, but, unless this has changed since then, it would probably be more accurate to say something like, "...and tourist cars cannot readily pass between the villages."

Sopranome( nickname)

I was once brought to the attention of the shape and beauty of cinque terre by a friend when I lived in Genove. the nick name given to it by those who live there is le ditta di Dio(the fingers of God) because of its land formation and beauty. I'm glad such land has been protected and conserved so that generations of Itlains and foriegners may enjoy.

    Le ditta di Dio is truely beautiful and I hope you can look in to the valididty of this nickname, if not by others then through your own eyes

(Italian pronunciation: [ˌtʃinkwe ˈtɛrːe])

This is about tɛrːe. I don't speak Italian but I don't hear any difference in pronunciation between the two e sounds in terre.
