Overview

A journey to the south-west of Sardinia, in the Villacidro area, to discover the history and stories of the miners, the archaeology and the flavours of a unique land. Departing from Cagliari, you will experience an exploration of the nature and history of Sardinia. You will visit an archaeological site more than 3,000 years old to discover the mystery surrounding the Nuragic civilisation. You will explore Piscinas, following a wild itinerary that will leave you breathless. You will find suggestive ruins of structures from the mining period. You will discover the beach of Piscinas, a unique place in Sardinia and throughout the Mediterranean: a fascinating desert, coloured by striking junipers shaped by the wind, which interrupt the ochre yellow of the high dunes. From Piscinas we move on to the village of Montevecchio, an old mining structure, restored and made usable, which houses a craft brewery. You won't be disappointed: enjoy this authentic experience!

Surrounded by fragrant Mediterranean scrub and rich in wildlife, Piscinas is an iconic place in Sardinia.
Ingurtosu

Ingurtosu, nestled in the wild beauty of the Costa Verde, is a fascinating abandoned mining village that tells the storey of 19th-century industrial Sardinia. Once the hub of mining activity, today it preserves the remains of buildings, industrial architecture and the evocative atmosphere of a place suspended in time. Strolling through its ruins, surrounded by hills and Mediterranean scrub, is a trip down memory lane, amidst stories of work and daily life of a bygone era.
Miniera di Montevecchio
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Montevecchio, a historically important mining site, offers a fascinating tour to discover a ‘ghost world’ linked to Sardinia's mining tradition. Located between Arbus and Guspini, this complex, which operated from 1848 to 1991, tells the storey of a mine that was one of the most important in Italy. The route includes various itineraries that allow you to explore emblematic places, such as the Management Building, the shaft tower and the workers' lodgings. Each stage offers an insight into the hard work of mining and living conditions, from the elegant rooms of the management to the modest workers' dwellings and industrial facilities such as the workshops and compressor rooms. The site, which is part of the Geomining Park of Sardinia, is a dive into the region's industrial past, enriched by unique architecture and machinery.
