Capo Falcone is located to Nord-West of Sardinia. This promontory is now commonly considered a sort of paradise for its natural beauty. The sea of Pelosa beach is one of the best sea you can find in Italy and likely not only in Italy. The cyan colour (that makes it looking like a swimming pool more than a sea), the clearness and purity of the water can hardly been found in other places, even in Sardinia. The wide covering of mediterraneum is also interesting from the faunistic point of view.
In front of the promontory there is the island of Asinara, formerly a penal colony and only from 1998 nature reserve. The most famous village in this area is Stintino, that used to be a fishing based village in the past while now tourism is the main resource. On the North coast is located Porto Torres (far from Stintino about 34 km.). Porto Torres is a quite important town in that area because of its port connecting Sardinia to Genoa and Livorno and also for some archeologic finds and for a very interesting church of XI century. Down on the west coast, before Alghero, an important town from the historical and tourist point of view, we meet Argentiera where you can see the old silver mine.
