Euphorbia Characias in Sardinia

Highlight • Natural

The densely growing Euphorbia characias, with its bright yellow inflorescences and gray-green leaves, dominates the Mediterranean maquis of Sardinia. As an adaptation to summer drought, this spurge species has developed a white milky sap that, when damaged, oozes and contains toxic diterpenes. The complex inflorescences consist of seemingly simple flowers that are in fact specialized inflorescences (cyathia) with individual male and female flowers, surrounded by striking bracts. As an important component of Mediterranean sclerophyll vegetation, it contributes to biodiversity and provides food for specialized pollinators early in the year.

Cala Domestica — Beach and Ruins

Highlight • Beach

Cala Domestica, south of Buggerru, two kilometers away, is like an open-air museum of industrial archaeology, preserving ruins of warehouses, deposits and tunnels dug by miners. Until 1940, the minerals extracted from the mines were shipped from here.

One of these tunnels on the right of the cove leads to a second secluded, almost intimate cove, called La Caletta. A deep inlet opens towards the sea, almost a fjord, with a wide and sheltered sandy beach in white, amber and golden tones, soft and compact. Small Mediterranean shrubs emerge on the dunes behind the expanse of sand.

View of the bay near Nebida

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bad way from Nebida to Buggeru but it's worth it. Lots of comparable views along the way.

Canal Grande di Masua

Highlight • Canyon

The Canal Grande di Masua is a deep inlet along the coast between Masua and Buggerru. The site is of great scientific and scenic interest and is part of the geological heritage of the Geomineral Park of Sardinia. Its limestone walls reveal one of the oldest geological sequences in Italy, with fossils documenting the first life forms on the planet.

The trail leading to the canyon is well-marked but requires caution in some exposed or potentially slippery sections.
