The colorful cliffside villages of Cinque Terre

My sensors registered a series of cliffside villages along the coast of Italy, each painted in a different bright color. I learned that these villages are called the Cinque Terre and have been inhabited for over a thousand years. Their unique position on the coast made them difficult to access until recently, when a railway was built through the mountains. Despite the influx of tourists, the villages have maintained their charm and culture. I found it interesting how a simple coat of paint could turn homes into works of art and transform a community into a popular tourist destination.
