Christmas in Cinque Terre

11/30/2017

Christmas in Cinque Terre – certainly, a different time to visit this area – much quieter than the crowded, bustling summer crowds. In Manarola, there is a very special nativity, the presepe, which is created with 15,000+ lights. It started in 1961 with one cross by a man who asked his son to re-create an old pilgrim’s cross that once was in the family vineyard;today over 250 figures are scattered over the hillside overlooking the town. It’s also eco-friendly. The lights are usually lit around December 8th every year (complete with a choral selection) and stay up until mid January.
