From Monte Ferru standing over it, the discovery of the Capo Ferrato promontory starts at the top. Climbing the mountain is an easy trek across the typical Sardinian Mediterranean landscape, inhabited since prehistoric times. Along the way, you will encounter sheepfolds, domus de Janas and nuraghi in the scrub. Once you reach the top, the view dominates the entire territory of Muravera: It seems to be suspended over the Sarrabus landscape, from the forest of the Park of the Sette Fratelli to the lively and very long beaches, Colostrai and Feraxi to the north, behind which there are the wetland oases, ponds and fish farm, while to the south you can admire the last strip of the immense expanse of Costa Rei.
Separating the two never-ending coastlines of soft sand is an oasis of peace and silence... it is the wild promontory stretching towards the sea. From the top of the mountain you will recognise the network of paths outlining it, leading to Porto Pirastu, to the panoramic lighthouse of Capo Ferrato and to the cliffs that enclose numerous small bays, hiding them from view, exclusive havens with a seabed perfect for snorkelling with a mask and flippers. It is a place where silence prevails. As you walk a few steps, the only noises are the sound of the waves and the chirping of the crickets. You can perceive a powerful charge of energy here, emanating from places that have reached us intact, and how many of them there are all over the Island.
Here, the intense scents of the Mediterranean essences wafting around promontory will embrace you as you gaze at the rocks from distant geological eras, emerging amidst the wild flowers and bushes of the scrub, leaving you captivated by the enchanting solitary, wild beaches of Cala sa Figu and Portu s'Illixi, nestled between wild cliffs, which can only be reached by sea or on foot after leaving your car at the entrance to the path that descends to the coves. A little effort is rewarded by a very unconventional day by the sea, with the secluded locations of the Capo Ferrato promontory that seem to be waiting there for those who want to enjoy their special, naturally primordial marine environment.
