L'alta strada
About
L'alta strada, on Corsica, is a butcher's shop at Route de Pinarello Lieu dit, Grazzoso. First-time visitors can expect a working butcher's counter rather than a restaurant or market stall, so the stop is about picking up meat for a barbecue, a picnic or a kitchen at home. The shop holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating across 26 reviews, which points to steady local approval. Grazzoso sits on the eastern side of the island, within reach of Porto-Vecchio, one of the nearby towns listed for this part of Corsica. Corsican charcuterie and cheese are part of the island's food identity, so a butcher's counter here fits naturally into a self-catering holiday. Other nearby places include Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, Bonifacio, Corte, Saint-Florent and Propriano, spread across the island. French is the official language, and Corsican is also spoken in places, so a few words of either help at the counter. The shop's website is listed for anyone planning a visit in advance.
