Mines in the Blue: Capo Pecora

It may look like a remote corner of Scotland. But the sapphire color of the sea and the rugged and wild nature bring us back to the paradise of the Sardinian south west. The site was inhabited since prehistoric times, as can be seen from the semi-hidden presence of the Giants’ graves, monuments made of collective tombs from the Nuragic age.

You walk along a path made of shrubs and Mediterranean scrub. On a limestone coast, granite cliffs suddenly appear, whose pink color contrasts with the intense turquoise of the sea. Walking on the granite walls, and following the paths of the goats that graze on this uninhabited plateau, you can see the white dunes of Scivu and, further away, the Gulf of Oristano.

Here the mistral blows strongly. Over the years, the wind has shaped the granite into soft and various figures, creating a real stone garden in the Manago locality. The sea also got busy, smoothing the rocks that are now called dinosaur eggs.

A space away from everything and everyone in which Nature offers unique chromatic effects.
