 | Vittorio Emanuele I of Savoy , who gave to this place his wife’s name, had drawn the map of Santa Teresa. Originally a fishing village, today Santa Teresa, thanks to its beautiful beaches, is a well known tourist resort.
It has grown in importance thanks to its harbour, where the boats to Bonifacio, Corsica and La Maddalena dock. It is also provided with a well equipped tourist port. |
| |
 | Out of the village you can see the tower of Longosardo (XVI century), that overlooks the harbour and from where you can enjoy a beautiful landscape. About five kilometres far from the village there is Capo Testa, a granitic promontory linked to the land by a narrow isthmus. Thanks to its caves this promontory has been frequented since ancient times, while, nowadays, is one of the most famous place in Sardinia, thanks to the long beach on its western side, and the large number of hotels and restaurants. |
| |
 | At its end a lighthouse, overlooking Cala Spinosa, a small creek with crystal clear waters and beautiful granitic spurs, that can be defined natural sculptures , stands. Cala Spinosa was one of the English sculptor Henry Moore landscapes.
In the north-western part there is the Valle della Luna (Moon valley), surrounded by high granitic walls, whose shades go from green to blue. |
| |
 | In front of the archipelago of La Maddalena, along the north eastern coast, the two small islands of La Marmorata lie.
Following the coast eastwards, you will reach the extreme end of the northern Sardinia on the Bocche di Bonifacio, Punta Falcone, formerly known as Erebantium, whose indented coastline overlooks the sea.
