Presentation

The Lion of Roccapina observes the sea, wearing his mane, a vestige of a Pisan castle from the 11th century. I tafoni - forms resulting from the slow erosion of granite - feed the imagination of the visitor to explore the Far South. Going down this wild coast where flora and fauna have preserved all their rights, the strength of the lands of the South is expressed! A stone's throw from the fascinating medieval city of Bonifacio and the attractive town of Porto-Vecchio, the mountain of Cagna watches over the vineyards and pastures of the gentle plain of Figari. And the haunting scent of the highly prized Corsican immortal, A Muredda, will lead to the majestic pine forest of Ospedale. Then, the proud Alta Rocca, the aptly named “Land of the Lords”, the heart of “Delà-des-Monts” will satisfy many curiosities. Welcoming villages, exceptional natural landscapes and archaeological sites are at the heart of a strong pastoral tradition. The Cuscionu, the largest summer pasture plateau in Corsica, a high place for transhumance, bears witness to this. And if "true progress is a tradition that continues", olive growing in Alta Rocca is a living illustration of this.
