Where Should I go: Corsica or Asturias?
Corsica
Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean Sea west of the Italian Peninsula and southeast of the French mainland. It has officially been part of France for more than 200 years, but it has a much different feel to it in everything from customs and cuisine to language and character, which is part of what makes it such a unique and interesting place to visit. Corsica resembles a miniature continent, with incredibly diverse geography. Within half an hour, the landscape morphs from gleaming bays, stylish coastal cities and fabulous beaches to craggy, rugged, sawtooth peaks, awe-inspiring valleys, dense forests, and mysterious hilltop villages. Holidays in Corsica will therefore be incredibly varied: from hiking and canyoning to working your tan, enjoying a leisurely cruise, delving into the island's rich history and sampling local specialties. It is known as an outdoor lovers playground because of its many hiking trails and natural beauty.
Asturias
Asturias is a region of Northwest Spain known for its rugged coastline, mountain landscapes, religious sites, and medieval architecture. While the natural landscapes answer the calling for outdoor adventures, the cities offer chances to experience the local history and culture. When it comes to sampling the best features of Asturias, there really is a little bit of everything.
