In fact, Riomaggiore is pretty much a beautiful, living, breathing Stairmaster!
There are steps — literally! — everywhere you go here.
What makes them especially challenging is that they’re not your typical modern-day city steps — all evenly spaced and at the perfect height.
No, most of these steps have been around for centuries and are, more often than not, irregularly spaced and way higher than what I’m accustomed to.
It’s been rather taxing, but I can feel my leg muscles getting stronger every day, and I definitely prefer “working out” like this, rather than in a gym. 😂
I prefer this type of Stairmaster too :-). It is certainly a lot more beautiful and interesting than a gym. Thank you for all the wonderful pictures and insights. With love, Suznne
