Back to basics | Propriano and Sartène Tourist Office in the Sartenais Valinco Taravo region

Day 1Local flavours and unspoilt nature

Your journey begins at the Petreto-Bicchisano farmers’ market. Let yourself be guided through the colours and aromas by a local enthusiast, who will share with you his local products, true treasures of Corsican know-how. In the afternoon, head for Moca-Croce and follow the Abbadia trail, dotted with remains that bear witness to a human presence dating back to prehistoric times.

At lunchtime, let yourself be guided by the echoes of the paghjelle*, Corsican polyphonic songs: they will lead you to a table of local specialities.

Day 4Memory and the art of living

Your stay comes to an end in the peaceful village ofOlmeto. Follow the heritage trail, a real walk through time, between cobbled streets, old houses and panoramic views over the Gulf of Valinco. Each stop reveals a fragment of collective memory, a link between past and present. Before setting off again, take a moment to relax in the village square, where the sound of the steeple and the friendly atmosphere reflect an authentic way of life.

Or treat yourself to a final moment of well-being at the Baracci thermal springs, where the thermal waters perpetuate an age-old tradition of relaxation and treatment.
