Valle della Luna: fascinating and wonderful
Cala Grande: Santa Teresa’s Valle della Luna is a one-of-a-kind wonder. This is an area characterized by strikingly shaped granite rock formations created by wind and water erosion, giving the landscape an appearance similar to that of the lunar surface.
Sardinia is a land that offers many natural beauties, and the Valle della Luna is definitely one of them. This enchanting place is located on the northwestern coast of the island and owes its name to its rock formations that seem to evoke the image of our satellite.
Where the Valle Della Luna is located
Valle della Luna is located in the territory of the municipality of Santa Teresa Gallura, in the province of Sassari, and is easily accessible by car. The Valley is located on the promontory of Capo Testa, after the bay of Santa Reparata.
Once you arrive at the site, you are immediately struck by the beauty and suggestion of the surrounding environment: in fact, you are faced with a lunar landscape of oddly shaped rocks and colors ranging from ochre to red.
Also nearby is the Capo Testa Lighthouse, which offers a splendid view of the Bocche di Bonifacio.

Rocks drawn by wind and water
The rock formations of the Valle della Luna are the result of the action of wind and water, which have eroded the rock walls and created true natural masterpieces. In particular, the rocks in the valley are composed mainly of granite, a very durable material that has allowed the creation of spectacular and striking shapes.
One of the most fascinating places in the Valle della Luna is undoubtedly the beach, a small cove set among the rocks and with crystal-clear sea. The beach can only be reached on foot, but the short walk you have to take to get there is amply worth the effort: in fact, you cross a path that skirts the rocks and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the sea.
