The Heart of Sardinia – Culture, Traditions and Enogastronomy
Description:
Tour in the central part of Sardinia, in the province of Barbagia. It is the best preserved soul of the island - or "sardita" as we say.
The city of Nuoro (38,000 inhabitants), located at the foot of Mount Ortobene, is the capital of Barbagia where you can visit the Museum of Life and Folk Traditions of Sardinia, opened since 1976 and containing various collections: a unique collection of national Sardinian costumes.
Lunch at the best typical restaurant in Sardinia (typical dish: pig on a spit) or at the shepherds' in the mountains.
After lunch, we go to Orgozolo (4,500 inhabitants), the most famous of the villages of Barbagia, famous for its wall paintings, which are called Murales. Only about 150 of them became the main attraction of the village.
The first murales appeared in the late sixties. They reflect the major political events of the last fifty years. The war in Vietnam, starving Africa, the war in Iraq.
