Trail 532 climbs the ridge of the Costa Corniolo, between Riomaggiore and Manarola: 1.2 kilometres, half an hour up and 20 minutes down according to the National Park.
It starts where trail 531, the old Beccara route, begins its descent to Manarola. From there it climbs the ridge between vineyards, pine wood and Mediterranean scrub.
It reaches the dirt road of the Via dei Santuari, trail 530, which runs from the Telegrafo to Volastra. It is a good way to combine the 531 and the Via dei Santuari into a loop.
