An island of traditions

An island of traditions and authenticity – what better place to celebrate winter and the festive season? Religious celebrations, village festivals, Christmas markets, culinary specialities and evenings by the fireside – the Sartenais Valinco Taravo region offers a wonderful way to rediscover Corsica, far from the usual tourist trails. Whilst those who feel the cold will appreciate the mulled wine and the warm, friendly atmosphere, the more adventurous can enjoy the sea and all it has to offer, even with water at 18° in Propriano. On clear days, the sun never ceases to warm the heart; the days are ideal for savouring sea urchin feasts on the beach from February onwards, always far from the crowds.
