Towns and Villages in Haute-Corse - 2

Leaving the coast we pass the blazing Desert of the Agriates. After this piece of land covered with Mediterranean scented scrub, favourable to wild hiking, we reach the coastal village of Saint Florent. In a strategic position dominating a splendid bay, Saint Florent also born as citadel. Founded in the XV century by the Genoese has always been an ideal base for maritime trades. It is the capital of the Nebbio, “U Nebbiu” in Corsican, with its famous vines.

Ile Rousse [the Etruscan Isularossa = red island] has always been a fishing village until 1758 when Pasquale Paoli, the Father of the Homeland, decided to put here his strategic harbour to dethrone the genoese Calvi, he had gallows set in front of the first houses and declared: " I have put up these forks to take there Calvi". The city owns its name to the pink granite rocks lying among fine golden sand beaches that surround it. Facing the sea a narrow strip of land leads to the Ile that gives the name to the town.

Corsica, Ile Rousse

Dominating one of the most beautiful gulfs of the Mediterranean, the valley of the Balagne with its hills covered with olive, lemon, orange and fig trees is called the "Garden of Corsica". A road climbing a mountain landscape covered of Mediterranean shrub leads you to medieval fortified villages like Belgodere and Speloncato with Moorish features. At the top of the hill that dominates Speloncato we will find the ruins of a fortress. Driving further inland you reach the Tartagine Melaia forest in an alpine setting.

Corsica, Speloncato

Calvi, corse citadel by excellence, impresses with the variety of its beauty: an imposing genoese citadel, a beautiful marina and a beach that stretches along its pinewood. Oppressed by any sort of pirates and foreign rulers, in the XIII century the Calvi inhabitants decided to stay under the Genovese protection. Since then for the faithfulness to the Ligurian republic the city gained the title of Civitas semper fidelis (town always faithful). Those who venture into his citadel after the gate get right in the 16th century. In fact what we see today is the result of Renaissance modification of the old medieval village: the citadel protected by the imposing bastions of St George, the palace of the governor, the church of St John were all made in the XVI century by the Genoese. Many houses are in bad condition because of the time or perhaps because of Nelson, who, in 1794, leaved Tolosa with its fleet to take this strategic harbour to the revolutionary France and crushed down the town (and lost his eye) in the battle.
From Calvi you can go back to Ile Rousse and Bastia with a lovely little train that conveniently crosses the inland before reaching Bastia.
Moreover the nearby peninsula of Revellata is a real surprise with its rich Mediterranean flora and secluded coves where once upon a time the rare monk seal used to live.

Corsica, Calvi

But the scenic and natural treasures are not finished, driving a narrow and maybe one the most dangerous coastal road, amid breathtaking scenery and marvellous vegetation, you reach the Gulf of Porto. From here one of the most rewarding coastal walks leads you to the Peninsula of Girolata and the Reserve of Scandola, places that, thanks God, are reachable only on foot or by the sea.
