Situated in the most rugged area of Gallura, land of the shepherd who live in company of flock, as well as eagles, sparrow hawks, wild boar, foxes and wildcats, lies Ala dei Sardi. It is a farming and pastoral village at a height of over 600 m, surrounded by vast areas of cork forest as well as holm-oak woods concealing many nuraghes, evidence of ancient human presence in the area. The houses, built of bare granite pieces, indicate a long history of the stonemason’s activity.
