Corsica. Mare e Monti (South)

From Porticcio to Propriano (South-Corsica)

The Mare e Monti Sud trail, between the azure Mediterranean and the wild maquis of Southern Corsica, climbs towards Pietrosella, offering spectacular views of the Sanguinaires Islands. Crossing the Coti-Chiavari forest, hikers discover the remains of the old penitentiary, a testament to a complex social history, before reaching Cupabia beach, a jewel of white sand nestled in a secluded cove. Genoese towers dot the coastline, watching over the horizon from Serra-di-Ferro. The scent of myrtle and strawberry tree accompanies every step towards the port of Porto Pollo. Ascending towards Olmeto, a charming village clinging to the mountainside, one embraces the history of Corsican vendettas and the beauty of centuries-old olive groves. The journey ends in Propriano, at the bottom of the Gulf of Valinco, after crossing landscapes of pink granite and cork oaks.
