Camping holidays in Corsica: the essentials of the Balagne region
To properly situate it, La Balagne is a region of Haute-Corse, located on the northwest coast of the Isle of Beauty. This region attracts tourists with its variation of landscapes between sea and mountains, fine sandy beaches, seaside resorts which allow them to indulge in relaxation as well as family or more sporting leisure activities. The high altitude landscapes in the hinterland obviously offer beautiful hiking trails but also typical Corsican villages as we like them.
A good opportunity during your vacation in Corsica, to stop in each hamlet of the hinterland, small medieval villages where the inhabitants and artisans will welcome you with open arms. Some stand out as essential stops: San Antonino, Lumio, Pigna, Corbara, Speloncata, Monticello. Stroll through the squares, soak up Corsican traditions with the elders, discover the vestiges of times gone by such as the fountains and wash houses or the stone houses steeped in history.
