L'arrivo della primavera ci fa pensare al mare, quindi perché non presentarvi la bellissima spiaggia de La Pelosa?


The famous beach of La Pelosa in Stintino lies about  about 45 minutes from Sassari, and is located in the far north-west of Sardinia, overlooking the Gulf of the Asinara. It is characterized by its fine white sand and turquoise sea and very shallow waters.

 

There is a smaller beach beside called La Pelosetta in front of an island that can be reached on foot. Here stands an Aragonese called the Tower of the Pelosa, that was built in 1578. Isola Piana, a second island near La Pelosetta, belongs to the municipality of Porto Torres, which hosts a Spanish tower 18 meters high called the Tower of Finanza, built in the sixteenth century and restored in 1931.

In the past, Isola Piana belonged to the Berlinguer family and was used asseasonal pasture land for flocks carried there on fishing boats. It was sold to the state on the condition that it would be preserved in its natural state.
