The town of Bonifacio is near the southern tip of the Corsica. I’m making this a 2 day stop as part of my Corsica road trip. When I do a long road trip I think I deserve a day off.
Bonifacio
I am staying in the haute ville, upper town, so that’s what I’m going to visit first. Plenty of churches so I’ll do a couple. It might be the prettier part of the island but it’s certainly more expensive. Some very famous landmarks make Bonifacio a must visit town, in particular there’s the Escalier du Roy d’Aragon. A stone staircase which goes down the cliff. One of its uses was to get fresh water for the military but deemed to risky so they made deep wells later. You can visit it, but there’s no way I’m paying to walk down and back up with a hard hat. I’ll get a photo it from the southern tip of the island which is what I really want to see.
Capo Pertusato
The Capo Pertusato is the southern tip of Corsica and is an extremely beautiful limestone environment. I recommend getting here early and I just went just for the walk, but people come here to spend the day at the isolated beach. It’s about 5km from the town and the most challenging walk I’ve done. You can see Sardinia in the background. There’s the military base, and lighthouse. I walked over the natural arch. There’s thepromised photo of the Escalier du Roy d’Aragon looking back to the town.
