The church of San Nicola Quirra is a splendid example of a rock church. Built in the 12th century using locally produced terracotta bricks. It's a good place to take a break in the shade of the trees.

Are you ready for an enchanting road bike tour that fascinates both with its landscape and its history? Then strap on your helmet and get into the saddle, because the old “Strada statale 125 orientale sarda” is waiting to be discovered by you. It's best to start your tour in the morning, when the first rays of sunshine bathe the Sardinian landscape in a gentle light and the heat of the day has not yet developed its full potential. A not-too-difficult climb awaits you through a picturesque valley surrounded by a breathtaking atmosphere. The higher you climb, the more you realize why you're doing this. At 400 m above sea level, there is an incomparable view of the Bay of Cagliari that is worth every pedal stroke. The road you are driving on was once one of the most important and longest state roads in Sardinia. But since the new SS125 was built, it has lost its importance and is now an insider tip for us travelers and for the residents of the mountain town of Brunei as well as the foresters of the "Ente forestale di sette fratelli". But that's exactly what makes it so charming: the moderately busy country road meanders uphill at a moderate incline and offers a stress-free descent downhill thanks to fewer tight curves. You will be accompanied by a constantly changing, fascinating panorama that will make your racing bike heart beat faster. So, whether you are a passionate cyclist or an explorer on two wheels - this well-paved and scenic route will captivate you. Enjoy every revolution, because here, on the old SS125, you combine sport with the beauty of Sardinia.

The Church of San Nicola might seem like a simple little church, but it is one of the two Romanesque churches in Sardinia built entirely of terracotta bricks. It was built between the 12th and 13th centuries. From here you can see the Castello di Quirra, which dates back to the same period. The road that leads to the church, despite being paved, offers suggestive panoramas and is often not very busy.

The construction of the Porto Corallo Tower dates back to the last decade of the 16th century. Along the right hand side of the entrance is a staircase leading to the upper floor within the structure. The tower is easily accessible from the beach or the port and is kept in excellent condition. From here, you can admire a splendid view of the harbor and the bay.

Torre Salinas, also known as Torre delle Saline, stands out from the other coastal towers of Sardinia due to its square shape. It stands on the promontory that separates Torre Salinas beach from Colostrai beach. It is not possible to enter the tower, but the view from the path is incredible and makes the climb absolutely rewarding.
