Just wondering - why would you choose La Spezia rather than Genova? I
tried to find even one operator that would go from La Spezia to
Corsica
and I found none...

Ooops ....

You are probably right - looks like services from La Spezia
to Bastia have been suspended ..... sorry!

At least according to
http://www.cemar.it/dest/ferries_corse.html
no more services this year

I liked driving the main road from Genova to La Spezia by
motorbike and then catching [off season, no reservation,
no time pressure] the ferry for Bastia, there across Corsicas
mountain ranges, N/NW coast roads and - less interesting
- a short detour S for Bonifacio and Porto-Vecchio. East
coast is mainly [sandy] beach area - but boring roads,
nothing really scenic
