Sardinië
Capo Testa, is
the most northern point of Sardinia (in fact "testa"
means head). At this
windswept point, the wind has modelled the enormous granite rocks over the
years so that the visitors' imagination can run riot recognising in each
rock an animal, a cathedral dome or a famous person's profile. Nearby the
old lighthouse overlooks Cala di Luna (or Valle della Luna as the
Hippie-tourists called it) and in the distance one can see the white cliffs
that mark the entrance to the port of Bonifacio.
Capo
de Testa,
Cala dei Corsari
Going eastward,
towards our final destination, one passes Cala dei Corsari where the water
is so extraordinarily transparent that ancient granite columns made in Roman
times, can be seen on the sea bed. Soon after we come to the fishing village
of Santa Teresa di Gallura, clearly distinguished by its imposing Aragonese
tower, which is nowadays a pleasant tourist centre and in the summer its
natural harbour (cut out of a long fjord) is so full of pleasure boats that
they almost hide the fishing boats.
The natural
harbour Santa Teresa is also home to the ferry-boat that links Sardinia to
Corsica. Santa Teresa offers visitors excellent
accommodation and leisure
facilities. People in search of quieter, more relaxing attractions can find
long sleepy beaches such as Rena Bianca and the long beach of Marmorata with
its deep crystal clear water which is directly after Santa Teresa. Then one
passes Capo Falcone and begins to head southward.
S.
Teresa di gallura - Il porto
Situated in the
middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia with its app. 1.800 kilometres of
coastline, is one of the most popular destinations for people who love
aquatic sports and seaside holidays, not only for its natural beauty and
geographical position but also for its history.
The many waves of invaders who plundered and settled in Sardinia during the
thousands of years of Sardinian history, came from the sea.
For this reason
the Sardinians, until recently, have never loved the
sea and they built very
few villages along the coast. The most important villages were built during
the period of the Roman domination and before that under the
Phoenician-Punic domination. Some examples are: Karalis (Cagliari, the
capital of Sardinia), Nora, Tharros, Olbia and Turris Libissonis (Porto
Torres) on the Northern coast of Sardinia.
During the last
years of this 2nd millennium, the importance of both the sea and the coast
has increased. This is due in part to the relatively recent discovery of
tourism, which started at the end of the 1950's, and in part to the
development of certain parts of the economy connected to the sea such as
fishing and transport.
It
is neither a coincidence nor a fashion that nowadays Sardinia is the preferred
destination for many tourists. The sea around this large Mediterranean Island
(second only to Sicily in size among all Mediterranean Islands) is among the
most beautiful and transparent in all the world. In fact D.H.
Lawrence in his famous book 'The Sea and Sardinia' wrote that Sardinia was a
land like no other and the Sardinian writer, Marcello Serra entitled one of
his famous books "Sardinia: Almost a Continent", in order to underline the
uniqueness of the Sardinian landscapes and the large and deep differences
among the Island's various regions which make Sardinia similar to a
continent.
