    According to Victor Berard, a writer and Homer expert, Capo d'Orso is the only place in the Mediterranean that can be identified as the home of the Laistrygones. Giant cannibals from the Tenth Book of Odysse, who brought Odysseus heavy losses and desperately forced him to flee. The hero docked here, near the Artacia spring (‘dell’orso’, the bear) in search of food and water for his crew, who in turn became a feast for the local population. The cape opposite the island park della Maddalena is shrouded in legends, which owes its name to a spectacular natural rock formation that is extraordinarily reminiscent of the shape of a bear that seems to point its head towards the sea. This is the Bärenfles, Roccia dell’Orso, a natural monument that stands at a height of over 120 m, attracts thousands of visitors and watches over nearby Palau.
