The Calanches de Piana is an area with many crisscrossing walks, where the highlight is the amazing weathered red rock. The scenery was once again in stark contrast to the other walks we did.
This turned into a very long walk of over 20 km, including a steep ascent through stunning rock formations, soft paths through peaceful, deserted woodland and a deep river gorge.
Our first walk on Corsica and not too challenging, but nonetheless finishing with some exciting but safe scrambling to reach the summit.
Photos of our holiday home, the village of Belgodère just next to it, and other photos from around Corsica.
We stopped in Stade on our way home from a weekend at some friends in the country. It has a wonderful old town centre with beautifully-maintained fachwerk buildings and an old crane in what used to be the harbour.
We hired bikes in Montecorto and headed off into the hills. Steep climbs and steep descents!
Ronda is the nearest larger town and is impressively situation at the edge of a substantial cliff.
