Cala D'oro
Propped up of oro, or Propped up of oru, is a rocky creek, sheltered of winds of the South and the West, situated by the sea the Mediterranean Sea, in three kilometers in the South of the city and the port of Solenzara, in South Corsica.
The beach is established(constituted) by pebbles resulting from the river of Cala of oru; these pebbles are sometimes covered with an ore which gives them reflections to the color of the gold. The access by boat is made in complete safety by the South of the creek, Punta di the oru; because in the North is a dangerous stumbling block.
This creek, registered among the remarkable sites of the Corsican coast, kept all its authenticity and is considered as the beauty of its sea bed often explored by the divers. Since the creek, a path winds towards the village of Sari-di-Porto-Vecchio and crosses the Road nationale RN 198, dont le tracé suit celui d'une ancienne voie romaine. Les habitants de Sari utilisaient jadis ce sentier pour accéder à la mer. Il est vraisemblable que cet abri, de même que celui de Favone, étaient utilisés déjà à l'époque romaine. Par beau temps, il n'est pas rare d'apercevoir au large l'une des îles de l'archipel toscan.
