TODAY IN CORSICA...: November 2010

An insight into life in Corsica! Thursday, 25 November 2010. Walking in Corsica – Les Orii I Canni et Chera. Years ago, we stopped off at the Oriu I Canni years ago on the way back from lunch at the Cala Rossa beach at Porto Vecchio, and I’ve been wanting to go back ever since, but somehow just never found the time. The other amazing thing about this particular Oriu is the doggie guide. Yes, there is actually a dog who guides you up through the maquis to this amazing structure because from below, you...

TODAY IN CORSICA...: Corsican Clementines
http://thedirectholidaycompany.blogspot.com/2010/11/corsican-clementines.html
An insight into life in Corsica! Monday, 15 November 2010. When it’s 20 degrees and sunny outside, it’s sometimes easy to forget that technically this is autumn, so I was slightly surprised to see the crates and crates of local clementines in the doorway of the supermarket yesterday. For 4 people;. 5 clementines (tangerines or satsumas work just as well). 140g of golden caster sugar. 4 slices of cake to serve (and vanilla ice cream if you like). Monday, November 15, 2010. Plage Roc e Mar.

TODAY IN CORSICA...: August 2010

An insight into life in Corsica! Saturday, 28 August 2010. Plage de Capo Loroso. With the temperatures up near to the 40’s again and a gammy knee, a visit to the beach seemed just what the doctor ordered. We didn’t want to go far and I was a bit bored with the Plage Arena Biance, so we continued on just a few metres more, and then followed the track leading down to the collection of little sandy crescents along the Plage de Capo Loroso. Soon our attention was caught by two women who’d obviously inv...

TODAY IN CORSICA...: Campomoro
http://thedirectholidaycompany.blogspot.com/2010/11/campomoro.html
An insight into life in Corsica! Wednesday, 17 November 2010. I needed a spot of exercise but it was so lovely that the beach was calling, so I decided to combine the two and take a little road trip to Campomoro. The sand here is fabulous for walking because it’s very fine so it compacts down and makes a really comfortable, low impact base to walk on. Despite the cloud over most of the Valinco, this little corner was gloriously warm and sunny. I know that out of season the tower is closed, but my inner t...

TODAY IN CORSICA...: Walking in Corsica - l’Oriu de Monaccia d’Auddè
http://thedirectholidaycompany.blogspot.com/2010/11/walking-in-corsica-loriu-de-monaccia.html
An insight into life in Corsica! Saturday, 13 November 2010. Walking in Corsica - l’Oriu de Monaccia d’Auddè. Todays excursion was a victory for common sense and willingness to wander off into the maquis with no compass, no phone signal and not much of an idea where we were going, over the stupid guide book which was no help at all! The views from up here are spectacular, but we could have done without having to don our Miss Marple hats to find the way. Fortunately, once we found the little path, there w...

TODAY IN CORSICA...: Plage du Lido
http://thedirectholidaycompany.blogspot.com/2010/11/plage-du-lido.html
An insight into life in Corsica! Thursday, 4 November 2010. Who’d have thought the temperature would be up in the 20’s in November? Not me, that’s for sure, so I was slightly caught out this morning when I went out walking in a long sleeved t-shirt! What I love about this beach, especially in the mornings, are the colours. The waters are relatively shallow and so clear that you can see all the barnacled rock plates just below the surface, so the combination of rock and sand gives a beautiful turquois...

TODAY IN CORSICA...: Plage Roc e Mar
http://thedirectholidaycompany.blogspot.com/2010/11/plage-roc-e-mar.html
An insight into life in Corsica! Wednesday, 24 November 2010. Plage Roc e Mar. After waking up to snow capped mountains opposite yesterday, it’s amazing that today the weather was absolutely glorious, and whilst not really hot enough to sunbathe, there was no wind at all, so it was lovely and warm sitting on the beach in the sunshine. It’s amazing that from above, the water here looks green rather than blue, but down at sea level, the beach isn’t quite so impressive as some of the others in t...
