Bougainvillea, Blue Sky and Shutters. Image of a Traditional House Front in San Pantaleo, Gallura, Sardinia, Italy

---

Colourful, architectural detail of Bougainvillea growing on a traditional, white washed village house. The village of San Pantaleo is a popular tourist destination. The location, high up in granite hills behind the Costa Smeralda, is now an artists haven. It is one of only a few Sardinian villages with a picturesque piazzetta at its heart. A series of narrow streets lead from it. Around these are the village church, croft like houses, several with artists studios, and restaurants. In summer there is a popular Thursday open-air market, which draws tourists from miles around.
