Cape Sperone

Enter a wild and fascinating area at the southern end of the island of Sant'Antioco, known as Capo Sperone. This area is a Special Protection Zone (SPA) due to its unique morphological characteristics and significant wildlife interest. The terrain is rocky and rugged, covered by sparse Mediterranean scrub, offering a rugged and fascinating landscape with its sheer drop to the sea. The view sweeps over the entire Gulf of Palmas and much of the island of Sant'Antioco, making it an ideal place for photography enthusiasts and lovers of unspoilt nature. Capo Sperone has cliffs, especially in the western part, which overlook the crystal-clear sea, creating an evocative and romantic atmosphere. In the area, various estates and agricultural activities, with vineyards, olive groves and pastures, create a timeless bucolic atmosphere that blends perfectly with the surrounding nature. A sense of peace combines with the sound of the sea in the distance on windy days, common on the island, offering a unique and rejuvenating experience for those who venture there. At the top of the promontory is the former semaphore of Capo Sperone, a historic building that retains a special charm. This complex, located about 175 metres above sea level, offers a breathtaking panoramic view, which completes the experience of exploring this protected and fascinating area.
