Valle della Luna, Coastal inlet in Santa Teresa Gallura, Italy.
The Valle della Luna extends along the western side of Capo Testa promontory, featuring granite formations shaped through centuries of wind and water erosion.
During the 1960s, the valley became a settlement for alternative communities, leading to multiple conflicts and evictions with the local residents over time.
Local musicians and artists gather in the valley for performances, including a notable concert by trumpeter Paolo Fresu celebrating his fifty-year career in 2011.
A 700-meter path near Capo Testa Lighthouse leads to the valley, which contains three main coves: Cala Grande, Cala di l'Ea, and Cala di Mezzu.
The valley contains a freshwater spring surrounded by Mediterranean plants, with strawberry trees, myrtles, and heather growing among the granite formations.
