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

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.

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.

A gorgeous beach. Almost deserted outside of the season.

A gorgeous beach. Almost empty off-season.

Portixeddu beach, divided in half by the mouth of the Mannu River, extends for over two kilometers between the rugged cliffs of Sulcis and the Costa Verde, in the Buggerru area. This long stretch of fine, pale sand is surrounded by a pine forest that offers shelter on hot days. The crystal-clear water and transparent seabed invite long, refreshing swims; however, caution is advised, as the currents can be strong. In summer, there are a few kiosks and refreshment stands. From November to May, however, the area once again takes on a secluded and quiet atmosphere, with no services or refreshments available.
