SANTA TERESA DI GALLURA HISTORIC CENTRE: The visit to the historic centre develops around the two main squares: Piazza San Vittorio and Piazza Vittorio Emanuele I. All the streets, in a chequered pattern,  converge here. Via Maria Teresa leads to Piazza San Vittorio with the Church  of the same name (1838) with its unpretencious architecture. On the right you will see Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, crowded with tourists during the Summer months, with its shops and bar and cafes. A walk along Via XX Settembre takes you to the majestic Londonsardo Tower, built by the Spanish at the beginning of the XVI century.  

CAPO TESTA: DA panoramic road 5km long links the centre of Santa Teresa to this circular promontory with some granite rocks of spectacular shapes similar to animal’s silhouettes. According to some the name itself came because of it similarity to a human head. For others because this the equivalent to the Roman “caput viarum”, the starting point for all the roads  going inland and leading to the south of the island. The rocks, moulded by the water and the wind, are always a popular spot for a lot of visitors. Capo Testa is linked to the mainland through a isthmus flanked by the beaches of Rena di Levante e Rena di Ponente. These two beaches are always guaranteed  a calm sea according to the direction of the wind. The panoramic road  ends at Capo Testa lighthouse and from here various paths lead down to the sea and to some beaches, like the Cala Spinosa. Capo Testa is also a popular area  to practise free climbing by lovers of the sports, from beginners to experts.

THE TOURIST HARBOUR: The local harbour is among the most modern and equipped of the area, with room for 750 boats of every size up to 35m. The dockyard can take in boats with a displacement of up to 100 tons.

TOMB OF LU BRANDALI: DThe visit to the tomb is of great archaelogical interest. It is here that the first human burials were uncovered to confirm that these sites were used as a collective burial ground. The tomb was part of a vast nuragic complex consisting of a nuraghe and a village. To get here visitors must leave Santa Teresa, take the Via Nazionale and turn right straight after the crossing, follow the road for about 700m until they reach a telephone box where they turn right again to reach the tomb. 

PUNTA FALCONE: Punta Falcone, the most northerly sea cliff of the island, offers scenery both unique and timeless in its solitude. From here Corsica seem very close indeed. This is the kingdom of the seagulls constantly flying in between massive granite rocks standing above sea level. On the left of La Mormorata, a long strip of beach, a footpath takes you to the first rocks of Punta Falcone in about 20 minutes. It can also be reached via a less comfortable dug up road going through La Ficaccia.  

SANTA REPARATA: Among rocks and on a jagged coast, the rural church of Santa Reparata, patron of the seafairers, is situated 3km from Santa Teresa, easily reachable by sea and by road, with its own beach and a sea with a colour which is a mix of crystal blue and  transparent emerald.

VALLE DELL'ERICA: The villages of Valle dell’Erica and Conca Verde with the most beautiful scenery rich with delighftul small coves are situated approximately 6km outside Santa Teresa, on the road to Palau.
