The territory, born after the new configuration of the Sardinian provinces, comprehends the historical region of Gallura, the North-East coast with the famous “Costa Smeralda”, the Archipelago of “La Maddalena”, the north part of “Monte Acuto” region, a small portion of “Baronia” and the east part of “Coghinas” lake.
The incredible landscape of this province, is characterized by vast areas of cork forest, Mediterranean bush, woods of holm-oak, Corbezzolo trees and vineyards. The area is renowned for its Vermentino wine, one of the best white worthy of D.O.C.G. Classification.
In the last years Olbia is growing as an important airport centre as well as a known harbour City. This success is due to the increasing number of tourists attracted by the close “Costa Smeralda”. But if tourism is font of richness for the coast, with Olbia as “holiday capital”, cork, is the first source of job , develop and grow. The cultivation of the cork-oak, in fact, is important especially in Gallura – Tempio Pausania and Calangianus - where all the cork processing factories are sited.
