Buggerru is a small mining town situated on the south west coast of Sardinia.
It was founded in 1864, in an area rich in ore deposits, and by the beginning of the twentieth century was at the height of its mining activity, with a population of around 6,000 inhabitants.

Up until the 1950s mining was the principal economic resource of the town.
Today, however, Buggerru boasts a healthy tourist sector, thanks to its beautiful beaches, post-industrial mining archaeology and its picturesque tourist harbour. Just a few kilometres from the town visitors can admire the splendid beach of Cala Domestica.

The coast road from Buggerru to Capo Pecora offers visitors a magnificent panorama of one of the wildest and most impervious areas in Sardinia.
