Hiking
The small mule track that branches off from the Granito path leads to the summit of Castellaccio, where the ruins of the medieval fortress of the same name are located. The origin of the castle is not entirely clear, but it seems to be attributed to the Malaspina family.
From Castellaccio, the view extends from the Strait of Fornelli to Isola Piana, up to Stintino and the entire Nurra peninsula. On days of good visibility, you can admire the coastal defense structures built during the period of the Saracen incursions.

Fortress ruins from the late Middle Ages and a great vantage point over the southern part of the island to the main island of Sardinia.
