This area, rich in historical and archaeological relics dating back to several historic and prehistoric eras, is especially renowned for its white granite caves, pastures, cork oak forests, and lush Mediterranean scrub. With almost 4,000 residents, the town owes its economic development to the extraction and manufacturing of cork and granite, used all over the world and also employed to build traditional homes. Furthermore, Buddusò usually hosts special competitions within the Rally Italia Sardegna
world championship.
