ROUTE DES SENS AUTHENTIQUES - BALAGNA

20218


Presentation

From the Asco gorges where the mouflon reigns, the high symbol of mountain Corsica, to the Agriates Desert and the Fango Valley, the charm of the Balagne lands is undeniable.
With the highest peaks as a backdrop, its hilltop villages, some of which date from the Middle Ages, dominate the sparkling sea.
Near the two coastal towns - Calvi and Ile Rousse - alternate long sandy beaches and wild coves, as far as the quiet Gulf of Galeria, further south.
This bright and refreshing "island within the island" has prospered since the dawn of time. Colors and scents invade the decor of this cultivated land: olive trees and vines (cultivated since Antiquity), almond and peach orchards, vast immortal plantations ...
Pastoralism also holds a place of choice.
Also renowned for their creative spirit, the Balanins are at the heart of an approach to revalorize ancestral trades. For about fifty years, an art craft industry has developed there, giving the villages an exemplary dynamic.
