The stretch of coast north of La Spezia is known as ``Five Lands', due to the five small fishing villages perched on its coast. The isolation of these villages -- up to 50 years ago you could only reach them by boat -- has allowed them to preserve their authentic fishing village charm, with virtually no change in appearance since they were first built.
