Palau is a dream village, over the see on the north-eastern side of Sardegna island and lays inside the Maddalena set of islands.

It lays in front of a dream  landscape: the Set of islands with Caprera and its sailing centre, the pink sand of Budelli island, SPargi and Santa Maria.

Then you msut consider the Southern Corsica island, with Lavezzi and Cavallo islands and then unterminable dunes and so much sea all around.

WInd, water, sea and sand and granite paint the scenarios pf Palau coastline: landscape of great impression by the dunes of the Liscia river on the western side up to the Salt caves Gulf (Golfo delle Saline).

The Roccia dell'Orso (Bear Rock) or the Isuledda sand (nowadays Isola dei Gabbiani, Seagulls island) contribute to attract people by an infinity of enchanted corners, often hidden and where the changing of seasons give you unexpected shows such as the blooming of sea roses in the month of may through the dunes of Cala di Trana and Isuledda, such as the mix of rocks and sand in Porto Cuncato  or such as the undefinite borderline between sea and land in the most inner side of Porto Puddu (Porto Pollo - Chicken Port) or the imponent landscape of granite blocks in Punta Sardegna.

Porto Rafael, the exclusive tourist settlement, was born in the 60s, before Costa Smeralda. 

"Dreaming means to live" is the motto of a hispanic Earl, Rafael Neville de Berlanga, who saw in the building of that village the realization of his life dream. 

It is an excellent example of how you can make a tourist urbanization by promoting the soul of places.

Admire that paradise corner close up.

All that seems to be drawn by the hand of a genius artist. 

While who does not love sails can lay down under the sun, maybe behind the dunes: high and soft, all protected and to be respected. 

The two wings of sand that wind through by the istmo of Seagulls island, the one towards Costa Serena, the other towards the mouth of Liscia river, are frequented by those who love to walk. 

If you prefer rocks, stones, granite that rises up from the sea thus go to Cala Scilla.

Here the landscape has really come from another world, stones with a strange shape that let you think about a science-fiction movie. 

Nearby there is Talmone, really an enchanted place: there for ages any car has not been passing through, no parking exist, nor cabins, beach umbrellas, street vendors: all is natural.

The first stage out of Palau is Capo d'Orso, a granite natural monument of the region. It is a charming and mysterious granite bear, quoted even by Ulysses during his travels throughout seas and islands. 

Thousands of tourists love to observe the landscape and the sunset on the Palau and Maddalena set of islands coasts, sitting under its granite belly.

Another destination leads you to the Tomb of Giants Lì Mizzani, in the surrounding hills. The site preserves the millenary history of our land, the Gallura.

Many visitors love to sit in the mouth of the tomb because only a strong magnetic energy would help to heal many ailments.

If you want to satisfy your curiosity among historical military fortresses here it is Monte Altura, recovered and open free: you can see the cannon posts, the great stone staircases that were useful for the transport of bullets, the soldiers' barracks. From the higher point you can enjoy an infinite landscape, up to the sea and the mountains of the near Corsica: the suitable one to make photos and videos.
