Lama "one of the most remarkable reserve
of the island architecture"
[ Michel Grandin - Villages de France]
Why have we chosen Lama for our vacation in Corsica?
Friends who have talked to us about it? An advertisement read in a
brochure?
An article in a magazine? No matter we have just left the main
road of the Ostriconi and we drive up now towards the village. Nobody
talks in the car.
Is it the contemplation of the big houses which, on the sheer rocks,
slowly get closer or, already, the feeling that .. we are going to
live unforgettable days? |

Lama between Sea and Mountain
In the bottom of the valley, at ten minutes awaywith
a car, the sumptuous delta of the Ostriconi and its immense beach,
with, behind, the movement of the dunes and the meanders of the
river in the reedy place. One of the natural jewel of Corsica, listed
as great beauty spot.
Up there, the mountain with its old paths of the
transhurance which snake in the rocky inlets and climb to the Monte
Astu (1535 m).
In this sea-mountain relation, the
hikes or the pony trek
find their favourite ground.

The Tourist Office of Lama proposes you the hike of the Monte
Astu. For the pleasure of the walk of course but also and above
all for the one of the discovery. You are going to follow in our
dead shepherds' footsteps. This mountain was their realm.
Do not be too in a hurry to reach the top and keep all your senses
aroused.
You are going to breathe in innumerable scents, see everywhere,
the vestiges of the life of the past : low walls, fountains, mulches,
sheepfolds, wheat areas; as if they were fossilized in the landscape.
Maybe you will hear, far in the sky, the call of the last eagles.
Since the shepherds have gone, these high deserted lands belong
to the the sovereign eternity.
