context_page_description: Afa is a commune in the Corse-du-Sud department of France on the island of Corsica.
  The inhabitants are called Afayens or Afayennes
context_section_description: The commune lies on the southern slope of the Punta Pastinaca mountains, including Appietto at 814 metres (2,671 ft). The Rock of Gozzi, at 708 metres (2,323 ft), forms part of the northern border, "riding" on the two communes.
  The commune territory is mostly flat from the foot of the steep Gozzi Rock. The highest point of the town is well watered with:
  the Calancone stream which originates in Punta Pastinaca
  the Mandriolo stream flowing from the Punta Pastinacale and delineating the north-east border of Afa with Sarrola-Carcopino
  the Stagnolo stream which rises on the south side of the Gozzi Rock and which flows into the Afa stream.
  The Gravona Canal which supplies water to the town of Ajaccio, crosses the southern side of the commune, north of the industrial area of Baléone. At the entrance to Mezzavia on the southwestern border of the commune, an aqueduct spans the Verdana stream which is fed by the waters of Stagnolu and also crosses road D81 200 metres (660 ft) north of its junction with Highway NR194.
