Translated into English as Cape of the Bear, this significant outcrop of rock eroded by the wind is a tourist attraction on Sardinia, an island so different from Sicily or the mainland. Its influences have been from different places than elsewhere so you'll find the Renaissance missing here and more accent on natural features. A great place for hiking.
