ブッジェッル/ブッジェッルのおすすめツーリングルート

The position of the town of Buggerru is quite unique, it has its own gulf

The climb is very hard but it's totally worth it, it feels like you're in the middle of a sea of rocks

The view is as Mediterranean as you can find in this area of the island.

From the beautiful scenery of the coast around Iglesias, on the southwestern tip of Sardinia, a gigantic sugarloaf rises from the sea. Admiring this imposing rock at sunset, rising from the sea just a few meters from the coast, is truly awe-inspiring: the sunlight radiates all shades of yellow and orange off the limestone formation. The Sugarloaf is one of the island's most impressive and spectacular natural monuments and the symbol of the coast around Iglesias. It takes its name from its resemblance to the famous Sugarloaf in the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, which replaced its original Sardinian name, Concali su Terràinu, in the 18th century. It can be reached by dinghy or boat from the beautiful Masua Bay, a stretch of the coast around Iglesias located 2.5 km away.

From here you have a good view of Buggerru and the coast.

Buggerru is an old mining town. Not only the workers but also the company executives lived here.

You really have to put in the effort here. The scenery is very charming.

A site of industrial archaeology right on a beautiful coastline. Buggerru was founded in 1864 as a mining village. Today it is a holiday resort with around 1,000 inhabitants, a fifth of what it had at the beginning of the 20th century. The present village, with the parish church dedicated to St. John the Baptist, consists of fan-shaped houses where the valley of Monte Caitas flows into the sea, a channel that gave its name to the Malfidano mine, the most important mine during the mining era from the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. It was active until 1979: in just over a century, Buggerru, already known for its silver in Roman times, produced more than 1 million tons of zinc and 200,000 tons of lead. Its modern small port lies beneath the exit of the Henry Tunnel, now an open-air museum, once a railway tunnel for the transport of extracted minerals.
