Capo Teulada is a promontory on the south-west coast of Sardinia.
It was expropriated in the 50’s and used as a permanent military range for ground, air and naval practice and for fire drill with proper war ammunitions (live fire ammunitions).
The fishermen of Teulada and Sant’Anna Arresi, two villages expropriated by the military for land for the installation of the military range of Capo Teulada, have been struggling for so many years to keep doing their job, to avoid the emigration and the continuous charity of the State.

 Teulada - A guide to Sardinia
The deep gulf of Teulada faces a large mirror of wonderful sea, which in ancient times flooded the coast and originated the many little bays and coves that characterise this stretch of coastline.
Set between Capo Malfatano and Capo Teulada, the most southern point of Sardinia, this coast faces and competes with the African coast for climate, types of fish and the white sandy beaches one after the other broken only by the most beautiful rocky bays.
Just a few km inland there is the village of Teulada, a small centre with the economy centred around tourism with rich culinary traditions based on roast meats, suckling pig and suckling goat spit roasted on the fire seasoned with the many herbs typical of the territory, but also fish and seafood.
