A characteristic alley in the village of Spello.
This is one of the many fascinating views that the village of Spello, known for its flowers and flower arrangements, offers to its visitors.
I was there some time ago with my wife and I still have several photos in store.

Here is where the village is located:

Spello (Hispellum in Latin) is an Italian municipality in the province of Perugia in Umbria. It is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy and boasts the Orange Flag tourist-environmental quality brand, awarded by the Italian Touring Club. Spello was founded by the Umbrians and then named Hispellum in Roman times; it was then registered with the Lemonia tribe. Later declared "Colonia Giulia" by Caesar and "Splendidissima Colonia Julia" by Augustus, because it supported him in the war of Perugia; after the victory of Augustus, he himself ceded to Hispellum a good part of the territories governed by Perusia and the dominion of the city of Spello extended to the sources of the Clitunno, which were previously under the possession of Mevania. Later it was called "Flavia Costante" by Constantine. Ancient Spello was considered one of the most important cities in Roman Umbria.

Arriving in Manarola in the Cinque Terre

Arriving in Manarola in the Cinque Terre.
Arriving in Manarola after having walked the long and tough path that reaches the hamlet of Volastra amply repays the effort that may have been lost among the many steps uphill.
When you are starting to descend there are at least a couple of passable roads; one of these takes you on a very steep descent, among the vineyards, almost sheer above the village.

Manarola, like the other Cinque Terre, is squeezed between the Ligurian Sea and the steep mountain range that separates from the Apennines near Monte Zatta and descends in a south-east direction, acting as a watershed between the Val di Vara and the coastal area. The village is located in the final stretch of the Groppo torrent valley.

The view at the top of Phan Xi Panh in Sa Pa

The view from the top of Phan Xi Panh mountain in Sa Pa, Vietnam.
The Sa Pa region is the most famous in Vietnam for its naturalistic aspect. In this region there is also the highest peak not only in the state but in the whole Indochinese region: Phan Xi Pang (in English Fansipan).
It is a mountain over 3000 meters high and it is a spectacle.
From its summit, from which however there is little view because there is almost always fog, you dominate the whole region.
You get there by cable car… That trip alone would be enough!
Then at the top, there are temples, Buddha statues, and steep, steep stairways…
