TRIP TO THE CINQUE TERRE WITH SCUOLA TOSCANA!!!!!

On Sunday June 07th our students are visiting the Cinque Terre….

Luisa, Ligia, Alexander, San, Katjia, Rafael, Thiago and many others more are ready to explore one of the most beautiful Italian seaside landscape…
……one of the most uncontaminated areas in the Mediterranean Sea. Five miles of rocky coast among two promontories, thousands of kilometres of dry-laid stone walls, five small towns castled up on stone spurs in minuscule creeks. For their history and their position, the Cinque Terre have not suffered a massive expansion. The vineyards, typical of this area, have contributed to create a unique landscape with dry-laid stone walls, winding paths, enchanting beaches between cliffs and clear waters.
Not only sea, our students are also ready to walk along the beautiful Cinque Terre’s footpaths with take breathing view, churches, oratories and old castles, diving, food and wines of first quality.
The Cinque Terre are National Park and UNESCO protected territory since 1997.

Be happy to enjoy Riomaggiore, Corniglia, Manarola, Vernazza, Monterosso: all the five villages that form the Cinque Terre, suspended between sea and land on sheer cliffs upon the beautiful sea!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scuola Toscana’s proposal for the week end is a trip to Lucca guided by Caterina, our specialist in Art history…

Lots of students are enrolled: Erich, leyla, Verena, Claudia, Aline, Renate…we are 30 students!!!!

Everything is ready to start with a beautiful week end trip.

It should be a sunny day the meeting point is at Santa Maria Novella Raylway Station at 8.50, …a bit early but it’s worth it!!!READY to have a wonderful time in one of the nicest medieval Italian city 

A walk through the centre of Lucca becomes an exciting voyage through the centuries, through history.

Apart from the significant monuments, such as the sixteenth-seventeenth century Walls, Lucca stands out in its integrity and its atmosphere as a lively and vital centre. Suffice to look down from on high, from one of its towers, or to wander through the narrow, tortuous Medieval streets: the white marble of superb Romanesque churces, the orange-red or the thirteenth-fourteenth century buildings, the grey of the paving stones, the green of the vegetation peeping out all over that heightens the powerful mass of the ramparts and the surfaces of the Walls that rise, almost unreal, out of the lawns of glacis.

Lucca is the city that inevitably seduces. Its appeal is probably the result of the city’s history.

Plese bring your camera and be ready to taste SCHIACCIATA in our good company!!

BUONA GITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and be ready for the next week’s activities…………….
