Visit Erbalunga
Erbalunga is situated about half way along the eastern coast of Cap Corse, to the north of Bastia.
The village of Erbalunga consists of a small huddle of houses squeezed scenically onto a rock peninsula jutting into the sea, with a ruined Genoese tower standing guard at the end of the village - or if not standing guard any longer, then providing numerous photo opportunities!
The village is a pleasure to explore, with traditional village houses lining the ancient streets, narrow alleys and passageways that make up Erbalunga
There is also a small harbour, and a beach (unusual on Cap Corse) running along the coast to the north of the village.
The highlight in the Erbalunga calendar is on Good Friday, when the annual 'festivities' are held. With its history thought to date from a traditional fertility ceremony, there are a series of ceremonies and processions that take place during the day, in traditional costume and following the custom of 'bringing life back to the earth' after the winter months.
