9 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Monterosso al Mare That You Shouldn't Miss
The last of the five villages along the Cinque Terre strip, Monterosso al Mare is the most visited, largely because it has the only sizable sand beach and the biggest hotels. Though it can get very crowded with tourists during the peak summer months, Monterosso is still delightful. The old town area, separated from the more modern resort area by the Aurora tower, is home to the ruins of a medieval castle and San Francesco church, which houses an important Van Dyck painting of the crucifixion.

Our school is set in a stunning location in Monterosso, Italy high on the mountainside! We offer much more than just a Cooking experience, we would like to show you our passion for food which starts right from planting and cultivating! Our lessons are great fun for all the family with discounts available for children and large groups.. Special occasions can also be catered for and gift vouchers are also available.

Vegetarian or Gluten free options are available. We now also run a Pesto Masterclass every evening at 5.00pm.. This is a shorter class than our main lesson and you will be preparing dinner rather than lunch.. Both the Cooking Lessons and also the Pesto Masterclass are held every day.

We had a great experience at the Cinque Terre Cooking School. We were picked up promptly at the arranged time and brought to the site. Our teacher, Mr. Mendez, was very knowledgeable and skillful; entertaining too. We learned how to make pesto the traditional way, as well as an excellent baked sea bass. Also, gnocchi, stuffed vegetables and a delicious cake. To top it off, we were able to enjoy our cooking on their lovely terrace overlooking Monterosso al Mare below. What a wonderful day!

As we were heading back through the old town to the train station, we stopped in here for a look. A very beautiful church with some interesting interior decorations.

This church is very unusual, and has a lot to offer if you take the time to properly see it. Many strange signs and decorations made me look up information afterwards, as none of the signs are in English inside or outside. Only one italian website gives its history, and, from my limited understanding of the language, it is a Brotherhood that looked after the dead, or took care of them. Bizarre decorations point to that too. Absolutely wonderful, different and worthwhile. Wish I could understand its meaning better but definitely eye-catching. Next to the Chiesa, step from one into the other

This is a beautiful church but the real beauty is on the ceiling. Wow ! Well worth a visit, the marble is also very beautiful.
