Turri de Flumentòrgiu
On the road coming from Marceddì, passing through S. Antonio di Santadi and following a fairly undulating road (but with a modest traffic), you reach Torre dei Corsari, a village perched on a promontory at 50-80 m. of altitude which owes its name to the presence of the Turri de Flumentòrgiu, an ancient watchtower (dating back to the 16th century) against Saracen pirates. From above the landscape is stunning; in addition to the wonderful sunsets, especially when the sea is foaming, you cannot fail to be enchanted by the contrasts between the deep blue color of the sea and the golden one of a wide beach, from the sand dunes often swept by westerly winds and the bright green vegetation towards the inner land.
