Environment and territory

Buggerru: panorama of the harbour and beachBuggerru is set between two promontories covered in dense rockrose, juniper, and Spanish broom. However, the cliffs, alternating with the beaches, primarily connote the landscape.

Moving away from the town and heading towards Fluminimaggiore, one can admire the long fine sand strips belonging to the beaches of San Nicolò and Portixeddu interrupted by the path of the Mannu River.

A few kilometers from the town, towards Masua you reach Cala Domestica, famous for its beauty and impressive silence broken solely by the hoarse cry of seagulls.

On the overhanging headland, the Spanish tour rises.

Panorama of the coastClose to the town there is the small “Piscina morta” lake, bounded by a fossil sand dune that forms a natural barrier and prevents the river that feeds the lake, to flow into the sea.

The inland is rich in vegetation: Mediterranean shrubs mostly comprising Spanish broom, rockrose and, in some places, dense holm-oak woods, oleander and ferns.

Also close to the town, to the left of the Rosmarino Mountain, some 220 meters above sea level, there is the “Grotta delle Lumache” (the Snail Cave), a remarkable geological formation.
