From big international festivals to local cultural celebrations, you’ll never be too far from an event whenever you visit Corsica. The island has many rural fairs and festivals that allow travellers to experience local produce and gain insight into the Corsican people and lifestyle. The Fiera di l’Alivu in Montegrosso, which takes place around mid-July, celebrates olives in a delightful olive grove setting. Olive oil and olive lovers will have the chance to learn about olive production over the years, and artisans will be selling olive products and local produce. Also in mid-July is the A Notte di a Memoria - the Relève du Gouverneur, which re-enacts the arrival of the French governor and the handover of power to the new governor. A drum parade of the “new governor” and 150 extras crosses through the old town to the Place du Dungeon. There are dancers, musicians, archers, fencers, troubadours, and flag throwers, while the citadel of Bastia is cloaked in light. If you appreciate music, Nuits de la Guitare in Patrimonio features masters of guitar playing music from the world of jazz, blues and rock. It also happens to take place in July, making the month a particularly good time to look for Corsica flight deals.
Due to historical and geographical reasons, Corsican food is a blend of cuisine from Italian, Nice, and Provence, with a unique Corsican twist. A trademark of the island is the meat of wild boar, and one of the signature recipes is civet de sanglier, a rich casserole with the meat stewing in onions, carrots, garlic, chestnuts, fennel, fruit brandy and red wine. Azuru Restaurant serves the trademark dish. Corsica is also known for its own special charcuterie or cured meat. From the delicatessen, you will find-shaped figatellu- a smoked pork liver sausage that is grilled or used in winter soups, coppa de Corse, an Italian style cold cut from a pig’s neck and shoulder, and prisuttu, a ham that is cured for at least 12 months.
Corsica offers no shortage of things to do. The Mediterranean island is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts with its rugged landscape of beaches, coastlines, and mountains. Amongst all that nature, you’ll find attractive port towns on the coast and picturesque villages in the hills. Some of Corsica's nicest beaches are those around Porto Vecchio, such as Plage de Palombaggia and Plage de Santa Giulia. Along with beautiful sandy shores and turquoise waters, their sheltered bays provide calm waves for swimming. Along the coast of the Gulf of Porto, you will find a UNESCO World Heritage Site of sculpted red rocks jutting dramatically out of the sea, with the jagged peaks of Paglia Orba in the background. Explorable on foot or by boat, Scandola Nature Reserve can also be explored underwater, with marine life like dolphins, seals, swordfish and corals. The famous GR20 trail travels from north to south across the island and is often considered the most difficult long-distance hike in Europe for those who want a challenge. Aside from being long, the trail is rugged and dramatic, rewarding you with beautiful views of mountains, gorges, lakes and lookouts.
