Description
The Propriano, Olmeto, Sollacaro, Filitosa loop and back to Propriano.
This route will take you, first of all, to the charming village of Olmeto (RT40).
After the climb to Olmeto, 8 km further on, you’ll reach the Celaccia Pass. The little D302 will give you a chance to catch your breath as it takes you towards the village of Sollacaro. Don’t miss its old olive press.
➡️ Next, take the D57 through the oak and olive groves to reach Filitosa.
A must-see: the archaeological site of Filitosa. It was inhabited from the Neolithic period right through to antiquity by the earliest Corsicans.
➡️ You’ll then return to Propriano via the northern shore of the Gulf of Valinco: ‘Olmeto-Plage’.
A superb view of the gulf, charming coves and the majestic presence of two ‘Sentinels’ – the towers of Micalona and La Calanca – will accompany you throughout this final stretch of the journey.
