authentic senses route - dui sevi - dui sorru - cruzini - cinarca

The gulfs and remarkable pink granite rocks are protected and classified as a world heritage site by Unesco. Higher up: forests of lariciu pines, waterfalls and natural pools with crystal-clear waters. Then chestnut trees, terraced hillsides, orchards and cultivated gardens. As you travel along the roads, the mild climate exalts the scents of immortelle, myrtle, thyme, rockrose and juniper! This paradise has a taste of happiness.... But also of ashes, as witnessed by the countless Genoese towers and forts that protected the population from pirate invasions and the villages where the spirit of the lords of yesteryear still hovers. It is with pride that some will evoke their history and their land! Because here, craftsmen, cheese producers, honey producers, wine producers, olive oil producers, essential oils producers, delicatessen producers, chestnut flour producers and chestnut-based confectioners... will prove to you what a passion is. That of the Earth.
