Corsica's origins can be traced to this small region with its large number of pre-historic sites and castle remains that date back to the time of the lords. The Valinco area provided a setting in the 19th century for many novels, including Prosper Mérimée's "Colomba". Propriano, a seaside resort set in the heart of the Gulf of Valinco, a gulf that is so deep and calm that it could be mistaken for a lake. The journey from the protected area of Roccapina and its beach of powdery sand overlooked by a rocky outcrop, passing through Tizzano, to the charming little fishing port of Porto Pollo, is an uninterrupted succession of coves and beaches, including the beautiful beach of Cupabia. A coastal path takes you to Tizzano trough the maquis from Campomoro. A veritable valley of green, the Taravo Valley has for a long time lived to the rhythm of the harvests, grape harvests and chestnut picking. With a large number of historic sites and other features of interest, the hinterland is a region full of activity. The trail of old craft traditions at Olmeto and the "Roue des Sens Authentiques" will take you on a journey to explore pipe, knife and ceramic caftories as well as specialities of local produce. Everywhere you go you are sure to come across thermal springs with for example the hot springs at Baracci that have been taken since the days of antiquity. There is also the Roman pool at Caldane, and the waters of Guitera and Tacana. Between two pools of freshwater and sea water, dozens of activities are on offer including, climbing, river fishing, horse trekking, and other excursions, not forgetting that the region is also the starting point of two walking trails: the Mare a Mare Sud and the Mare e Monti Nord.
