La Maddalena Archipelago: Caprera, Garibaldi and the Pink Beach
375 + 100 XP
The La Maddalena Archipelago has been a national park since 1994, reached by the car ferry from Palau. Caprera holds the Compendio Garibaldino, the house Giuseppe Garibaldi lived in and the grave he was buried in when he died there in 1882. Boats run out round Spargi, Santa Maria and Budelli, where the Spiaggia Rosa is looked at from the water rather than walked on.
