DELL’ASINARA
The western coast of Sardinia offers a wide variety of activities – Capo del Falcone
whether you prefer to explore the towns and countryside, or relax STINTINO
on a beach at places like Is Arutas near San Salvatore or Bosa Marina. Tonnara Saline
There are extensive nature reserves teeming with wildlife, and Golfo
fortified cities with Romanesque cathedrals. One of Sardinia’s best- dell' Asinara
known wines, Vernaccia, is made in this region, from the vineyards Pozzo San
north of Oristano. At Tharros you can explore the ruins of a Phoenician ARGENTIERA Nicola
coastal town, founded in the 8th century BC. The relatively short Palmadula Rosário PORTO
distances between sights and the flattish terrain, especially in the Sinis TORRES
and Campidano di Oristano regions, make this area ideal for cycling Monteforte Santuario di
tours. Walkers may prefer the hiking trails and riders can choose from Monte d’Accoddi
the bridle paths that converge on the coast near Arborea. At the Tramariglio Bancali
headland of Capo Caccia you can explore caves and grottoes, some CAPO
of which extend for kilometres under the cliff. CACCIA Olmedo Sassari
