Corsican delicacies

Ok it's not entirely Corsican what we have indulged in, lately. It's more that the French produce are easier to get hold on here than in Spain and we can't get enough of the cheese (Camembert, Brie, Roquefort etc..), the pate's, the french butter, freshly baked baguettes, blettes, yoghurts, the wine and so on...

What is Corsican though, is the delightful little Canistrellis (more or less like Italian Biscotti) and the smoked wild boar meat (even though the meat they call sanglier, in fact is 30% boar, 70% pork)

If you ever wondered how we can be so fit, after all we're eating. Well... I can tell you that those well shaped days are now officially over!

Campomoro

It is a wonderful feeling, to stroll around on the streets and towns of Corsica. The gentle, aromatic scent of rock roses grabs a tight grip of your lungs wherever you go. The fragrance is different, the air is different, the colors, the sounds, the shades of the water... While Alex spent many of his childhood summers in Corsica, it is for me the first time around here - and I must say, I have fallen in love. It is such a colorful, rustic, romantic and delightfully adorable island which I would recommend for anyone to visit.
