Where Should I go: Wales or Corsica?
Wales
While it's not terribly full of people, Wales definitely has its fair share of castles. This beautifully landscaped country is practically covered in majestic castles. These castles, and the country's rich history, created a popular tourist scene in Wales after it's time in the coal industry faded.
This little country to the west of England is a part of the larger United Kingdom. The UK, or Great Britain, is made up of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Remember that those are four different countries when talking to the locals.
And the locals will want to talk. With a strong Celtic background, the Welsh are some of the funniest and friendliest people in the world.
With the rugged landscape and wild coasts, you'd never guess that this little country is only a two hour ride fro the bustling metropolis of London. The two areas are starkly different.
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.
