Itinerari
Ancient Knowledge and Skilled Handcrafts
It is not unusual to come across amateurs and artisans that are passionate about working according to ancient traditional techniques created objects of great value.
Traditional Architecture
Old town centre is characterised by a dense weave of narrow streets and stairs and a peculiar artistic and architectural heritage that can be admired by following an historic-cultural tour –a discovery of traditional architecture
Silver waterfalls and pink granite
There are several spectacular waterfalls in the Linas area that can be reached through pleasant and interesting itineraries.
Churches and nature
The combination of faith and nature accompanies and enriches a trip that leads to the discovery of ancient traditions and profound devotion.
From Pineta Carmine pine grove to Villascema
A particularly suggestive hike due to the variety of landscapes and spectacular views, with a powerful cultural association
From the Villascema valley to the Perd’e Pibera Park
Un trekking immerso completamente nel fitto bosco di leccio che si presenta pesante nel primo tratto per la sue particolare pendenza ma che conduce, con una piacevole e rilassante discesa, di raggiungere uno dei parchi più spettacolari della zona.
Ancient faith
In the heart of the old town centre, a large, evocative piazza hosts three churches standing close together positioned in such a way as to form a triangle, as dictated in Medieval architecture.
Strands of memory…strands of history
The art of weaving is among the most widespread of the entire island, so much so that it could be considered one of the most distinctive traits of the Sardinian identity.
Places of The Deserter
The entire novel of Il Disertore is a voyage into the silence of the thoughts of its characters and the pursuit of the silence of these places and things.
The Water Cult – Matzanni
An excursion that does not present much difficulty on a technical level and allows the hiker to reach the important Matzanni Archaeological Site at which three sacred fonts have been discovered along with a village made up of 12 circular huts dating back to the Nuragic Era as well as the ruins of a Phoenician-Punic temple.
The peasant world of Saint Isidore
Ancient professions, customs, holidays, rituals, music and colour that are always closely connected to the agro-pastoral traditions find their expression in holidays and town festivals, more specifically at the Sagra di San Isidoro (Festival of Saint Isidore).
The ancient retreat of Santu Miali
A hike that is fairly difficult due to the steep elevation gain which includes long, pleasant distances along with challenging climbs in the shade and the barren spots of the crests that alternate constantly characterizing this long excursion with a delightful variety of landscapes and environments.
Holyday of San Sisinnio
The large portal of the Parish of the piazza Santa Barbara, located in the heart of Villacidro’s old town centre portrays the image of San Sisinnio clenching a witch.
The Dessì Foundation and the Award
Villacidro has been immortalised by the pages of its native author who is celebrated every year with a National Literature Award dedicated to him.
Taste Workshops
flavours and fragrances tied to its agricultural tradition and a cuisine that features the fresh and genuine products of its soil.
The roads of wheat
For a very long time, the history of Sardinia and the Sardinians was the history of wheat, from which it obtained its principal source of nourishment: bread.
Places to savour in the “Town of Shadows”
Exciting gastronomic voyage into the places found on the pages narrated by the author in his best known work, Paese d’Ombre (Town of Shadows).
Places out of “Paese d’Ombre” – Town of Shadows
It is not difficult to be directed by the pages written and to discover how the piazzas, streets and churches in the town to this day tell of ancient impressions, evoking the emotions found in the author’s work.
Hands of Gold
The magic of filigree enchants and astonishes: the finest strands of gold or silver are twisted, wrapped into coils and set upon precious supports in various and elegant shapes.
Monte Lisone
This excursion is rather tiring but highly evocative due to the presence of many different kinds of vegetation and a quartz vein of particular geological interest.
Monte Margiani
A hike that is particularly suggestive for the alternation of colours that the many juniper, Mediterranean strawberry, mastic and heath trees offer to the woodsy valley of Coxinas.
Monte Mei
This excursion is particularly suggestive since it faithfully evokes a page straight out of Giuseppe Dessì's novel Paese d’ombre (Town of Shadows)
Linas sheep pen
A hike in an enchanted territory that recalls the fantasy of age-old legends, it unwinds inside a dense forest, allowing the excursionist to admire many traces of ancient coal working sites immersed in the woods, evidence of a mountain activity lost in the past.
Parks and Panoramic Spots
The trees, woodlands, rocks, waterfalls… In his works, Nature is present in any forms and in all its liveliness.
Climbing the ancient steps
The origins of the town's urban structure go way back into the past. The oldest part of town is the rione Castangias district that has been inhabited since 1400.
Original Products
A singular way to visit the town is by discovering its flavours and fragrances that taste of the earth, of nature and the bygone days, of genuineness.
Punta Acqua Zinnigas
This hike is a rather long one, but it is not particularly difficult. The effort made to get to the top will be repaid in full by the splendid view from Genna Eidadi that offers a panorama of the vallata di Magusu (hollow), l’altopiano di Oridda (plateau) and Monte Lisone.
Punta Cammedda
A fairly challenging hike due to its uphill climb. However, it is also one of the most fascinating for the beauty of the landscapes to be admired from the mountain peak.
Punta Magusu
The path is an interesting one in that it runs along a mule trail that is in good condition, climbing up to the dense woods that have flourished from reforestation. Coal workers in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s had cut down most of the trees.
Punta Acqua Piccinna
A fairly challenging hike due to the uphill elevation gain that is also filled with variety for its flourishing plant life as well as for its breathtaking panorama that can be admired every step of the way.
Cherry Festival
There have always been cherries in Villacidro and their culture has been handed down from generation to generation.
Stories of the Mines
The tour begins in the residential area of Villacidro, where the beautiful green cloak surrounding the upper portion of the town reminds one every day of the way the environment was exploited to the advantage of the mining industry.
A hike among the waterfalls
A fairly challenging hike, not so much because of its elevation gain but because of the passages along the rio Muru Mannu and the rio Linas rivers.
A jump from Oridda – Piscina Irgas
A hike that is highly suggestive for a landscape characterised by many different types of plant life and conformations of granite of unusual beauty, the backdrop to one of the most imposing waterfalls of the Massiccio del Linas massif.
A surprise in the Villascema hollow
A hike along the valley floor where the distinctive spots along the S’Ega Sizzoris gully offers intense emotions without having to feel the lack of those panoramic views so typical of higher altitudes.
Towards the tallest peak
A fairly difficult hike due to the uphill elevation gain but it is also one of the most fascinating thanks to the beauty of the breathtaking landscape to be viewed from the P.ta Perda de sa mesa peak, the tallest in the Linas mountain range.
