🌿Along the way, you’ll enjoy a fragrant walk in the heart of a wilderness where the maquis is dense. 🌿 It slopes gently upwards through a small oak-shaded forest.
🥾 30-minute walk
The abandoned village awaits you at the end of a peaceful path, as if frozen in time. Here, the old stones tell a silent story of a deserted hamlet surrounded by scrubland and bathed in sea spray.
The path starts near Portigliolo beach, opposite the Ronbinson car park. At the slight bend to the right, there are two paths. Take the one on the left, which turns out to be an extremely eroded track that climbs slightly. After 10 minutes, you reach a large bare area. Keep to the right here. The track bends to the left and then immediately to the right. Straight up the hill, you can already see the first house in A Chjava.
The second part of the path runs through a small shady wood. In this forest, the remains of terraces where farming was once practised can be seen to the left and right. A quarter of an hour later, you reach the abandoned village of A Chjava. From the most majestic house, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Gulf of Valinco. The Portigliolo beach lies just below.
The return journey takes the same route.
