Capo Caccia, Sardinia, Italy

In the northern part of Sardinia, in the province of Alghero, there is an imposing promontory formed by limestone rocks which has been given the name of Capo Caccia. Its name derives from the pigeon hunting activity to which the notables of the 19th century were dedicated. The promontory housed large colonies of monk seals that took refuge inside the numerous natural caves, which today have completely disappeared. On the other hand, you can admire numerous types of birds such as the peregrine falcon, the swift or Bonelli's eagle. The seabed surrounding this part of Sardinia is characterised by the presence of red coral, which is still used to create jewellery by local artisans.
