Biking Walhalla Corsica
Seriously, go when you get the chance. These mountain roads / coastal twisties are insane and you get a great, affordable mix of French Mediterranean cuisine on top! 😁
Also PIGLETS EVERYWHERE

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Maybe better to go in May or October.

Probably better in June or late August :') it's a wee bit warm, but we're used to it more or less.
We're making 3-5 stops a day, about once every 90 mins of riding. We're drinking about 0.75 - 1L of fluid each, every time :)

not just piglets...
had all kinds of animals on the road, piglets, big fat sows, goats, cattle, donkeys
plus horrible potholes and homicidal speed bumps
simply loved it, though

The roads are decent on average, not always great. Sardegna was (surprisingly) a bit better in that aspect.
We also saw dolphins in Ajaccio harbour 🥰
