Sardinia and Corsica were united by a single destiny. One land, a similar and ancient culture. This is demonstrated by the many points of contact between two proud and courageous peoples, never bent in front of the pirates who looted their coasts, marvelous both but similar in their differences.
Visiting Corsica is an overwhelming experience, crossing the sea and in 50 minutes find yourself in a different but similar reality, speaking a language that resembles the Sardinian but that ranges from French to Arab, walking through the streets of an ancient village, living a nightlife that does not turn into a nighttime frenzy. You are in Corsica. Corsica is a rugged and mountainous island located in the Mediterranean Sea.
It is a land of contrast and contradiction, where ancient traditions coexist with modern influences, breathtaking natural beauty meets rugged terrain, and the fierce independence of its people clashes with its status as a French territory. Corsica has a complex history shaped by centuries of conquest, occupation, and resistance. Once ruled by Genoa for over years, it was later controlled by foreign powers like France, Britain, and Italy before becoming French in Despite domination, Corsica retains a strong identity and attachment to its unique culture and traditions.
Corsica is also known for delicious cuisine blending Italian and French influences, with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. Traditional dishes include wild boar stew , grilled seafood, and cured meats like coppa and lonzu. Corsica is an island of dichotomies and defiance. It shelters a fiery spirit that burns as fiercely as its sun-drenched coastline.
For centuries, Corsica has persevered against domination, its indomitable will etched into every winding road and craggy cliff face. A longing for independence still pulses beneath the surface, fed by deep roots and an unquenchable thirst for freedom. Yet behind the tumult lies a place of unparalleled natural beauty and joy. Majestic mountains tower like sentinels over an azure sea, while ancient olive groves blanket hillsides in shades of silver and green.
