Overview
In the centre of the east coast of Sardinia, close to the pond of Tortolì - the municipal capital - lies the hamlet of Arbatax, situated on the small peninsula of Capo Bellavista. Always a land of fishermen, its identity is at one with the sea and its different souls. If the sea as a front of attack made it, in the Middle Ages, a place of lookout and defence of the territory, the sea as an opportunity for life has meant that it has always been inhabited by fishermen, who still live here in symbiosis with the sea and its resources. With its Red Rocks, suggestive and wild, and the port, a place of exchange, contamination and vital centre of the village, Arbatax still maintains the appearance of a maritime town, in which this archaic and powerful element is at the centre of everything, including traditions: the symbol of these rituals is the feast of Our Lady Star of the Sea, the town's patron saint, which takes place in July and attracts tourists and pilgrims every year.
