Also the cuisine in the country convinces with local delicacies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Terme_di_Saturnia_%E2%80%93_Cascate_del_Mulino\"><\/span>Terme di Saturnia &#8211; Cascate del Mulino<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0580-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0580-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0580-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0580-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0580-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0580-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0580-800x1200.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely unique and beautiful are the springs of the Cascate del Mulino, which are located in the middle of Tuscany. Through innumerable winding roads one finally reaches this enchanting place. The village of Saturnia is located about 100 kilometres south of Florence and is world famous for its thermal springs. At the Gorello waterfalls the sulphurous water gushes out of the rocks at a temperature of 37 degrees and then flows into large, naturally shaped pools. You can swim here at any time of day or night, parking spaces are available. I recommend you take an old swimming costume with you, because the smell of sulphur will not get you out. I was there early in the morning at about 6 o&#8217;clock to watch the sunrise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pisa_and_the_leaning_tower\"><\/span>Pisa and the leaning tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0721-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0721-2-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0721-2-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0721-2-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0721-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0721-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0721-2-800x1200.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also not for the first time I visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa, because 4 years ago I was already here, but then with many more tourists. A short history of the tower: The tower was actually meant to be a freestanding bell tower of the cathedral in Pisa, but 12 years after the laying of the foundation stone, the stump of the tower started to incline towards the south-east. The reason for its inclination, however, lies in the subsoil of clayey mud and sand, which has deformed under the weight. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is part of the UNESCO World Heritage and is probably straight, because of its location world-famous.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0849-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0849-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0849-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0849-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0849-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0849-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_0849-800x1200.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next to the Leaning Tower of Pisa is the magnificent Cathedral of Pisa and the Baptistery. The tower can also be visited from the inside, but as it was quite warm and there was a compulsory mask, I decided not to visit it. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to stop in Pisa to see these beautiful buildings live and to get some memories.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cinque_Terre_%E2%80%93_the_five_colorful_villages_in_Italy\"><\/span>Cinque Terre &#8211; the five colorful villages in Italy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-69710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riomaggiore-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Riomaggiore Cinque Terre\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riomaggiore-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riomaggiore-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riomaggiore-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riomaggiore-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riomaggiore-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Riomaggiore-800x1200.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On social media this year, the pictures from Cinque Terre dominated in my feed. Because these five villages by the sea are also part of the UNESCO World Heritage and are absolutely unique you need to visit them. In just two days I discovered all five villages by train and by foot: it was love at first sight. For me personally, Vernazza is the most beautiful of the five villages, but you should not miss Riomaggiore with its characteristic red house.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-6' class='gallery galleryid-70385 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/travelguide-cinque-terre-italy\/cinque-terre-manarola\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cinque-Terre-Manarola-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-69706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cinque-Terre-Manarola-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cinque-Terre-Manarola-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cinque-Terre-Manarola-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cinque-Terre-Manarola-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cinque-Terre-Manarola-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cinque-Terre-Manarola-800x1200.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-69706'>\n\t\t\t\tManarola\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/travelguide-cinque-terre-italy\/monterosso\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Monterosso-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Monterosso\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-69709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Monterosso-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Monterosso-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Monterosso-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Monterosso-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Monterosso-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Monterosso-800x1200.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-69709'>\n\t\t\t\tMonterosso al Mare\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/travelguide-cinque-terre-italy\/vernazza-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Vernazza-2-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Vernazza Cinque Terre\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-69711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Vernazza-2-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Vernazza-2-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Vernazza-2-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Vernazza-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Vernazza-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Vernazza-2-800x1200.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-69711'>\n\t\t\t\tVernazza\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each one of the villages has its own charm.
