Anna Arresi, Masainas, Giba, Piscinas, Santadi, Villaperuccio, Tratalias, Nuxis, Perdaxius). The territory is rich in natural and environmental resources. The region comprises a coastal area, from Cape Spartivento to Porto Botte, fringed with amazing beaches and cliffs, and an inner zone, interestingly alternating mountainous or hilly lands to plains.

History has marked the territory with pre-Nuragic villages, menhirs, ‘domus de janas’, ‘
giants’ tombs’ (‘tombe di giganti’), nuraghi and Punic-Roman settlements, till the characteristic
