On sunny days, especially when the Mistral wind is blowing, this itinerary is certainly one of the most fascinating and incredible to experience. The lighthouse is located in the municipality of Santa Teresa di Gallura and can be reached by taking state road 125 through the municipalities of Arzachena and Palau and then turning towards the Gallura municipality where the unique panorama of its cliffs reaches as far as nearby Corsica. Once you reach the free car park next to the lighthouse, you can access the site by following a short and easy natural path full of typically Mediterranean plants. The tafic rocks begin to appear a little scattered here and there as if in a scenario ready to explode in all its beauty and wonderful power. 

I recommend visiting this place on days when there is a strong mistral (north-easterly wind at least 30kn) to fully enjoy its beauty and the power of the elements.
