Day 4

Breakfast at the hotel.

For those who were in Oristano during the Sartiglia, the day will be dedicated to the ancient carousel that takes place in the streets of the city.

The Sartiglia is an equestrian carousel that has ancient origins, a symbol of fertility and prosperity. Over 100 riders dressed in ancient costumes challenge each other running on their horse in time of drums with the intent to collect with the use of their sword, the stars that are hung in the air along the way. The Sartiglia offers unique emotions that bring back to an ancient time, to traditions that have not been forgotten in this land.

For those who are not in Oristano in the days of the Sartiglia we offer an excursion to the archaeological site of Tharros, located on the coast just outside Oristano.

Tharros is a nuragic settlement where you can visit two millennia of history. The site is a real open air museum, where you can also see two nuraghi, you can also visit the museum that houses all the finds found in the site and the tower. The site is really rich in finds related to the Phoenician population including the thopet, a typical sanctuary of this people and the baths placed on the foundations of the temple.

Lunch and afternoon off.

Free dinner, we suggest to try in one of the many typical restaurants of the area, the Culurjonis, which are square shaped ravioli in different variations: ricotta and chard, cheese or potatoes and saffron; the Malloreddus all'oristanese, semolina pasta gnocchi seasoned with spinach, chard, eggs and cream. Among the main dishes, the typical dishes of the city are the roast sheep and goat; the hen with myrtle, cooked with smells and myrtle twigs and on ghisau, a stew of various types of meat. For dessert you can taste mustazzolus, biscuits made of concentrated must, wheat flour, yeast and sugar, covered with icing; zippole, long pancakes of Carnival Oristano. The typical wine of the city of Oristano is Vernaccia of Oristano; among others we point out, the Nuragus, the Vermentino, the Sangiovese, the Semidano, the Moscato and the Bovale, the Malvasia and the various types of local spirits such as the "Filu Ferro".

Day 6

Breakfast at the hotel.

Day dedicated to the visit of the city of Cagliari. Cagliari, capital of Sardinia, is located in the south of the island. It is a large and modern city that keeps intact the ancient and historical districts that, through narrow streets, lead to the upper and fortified part of the city. Interesting are the Towers of San Pancrazio and Elephant, both built around 1300 that marked the access to the ancient part of the city protected by high walls. Near the Tower of San Pancrazio you can access the "Citadel of the Museums". Do not miss a visit to the Cathedral of Santa Maria, one of the most important monuments of Sardinia, whose construction began at the end of 1200 and the Basilica of Bonaria, the largest church in the city. In the immediate vicinity of the city are the area of the "Saline" and the pond of Molentargius, places where for years the pink flamingos and other important species of avifauna nest. Other areas of great interest are the necropolis of Tuvixeddu, initially Punic and later Roman, located in the northern part of the city.

Free dinner. We recommend some typical delicacies of Cagliaritano such as for example the numerous seafood appetizers, offered with fresh fish and shellfish of the Gulf of Angels: the "Burrida" a typical dish of Cagliari that is prepared with a fish called "gattuccio".

Among the first are the spaghetti with eels, the "fregola" a typical pasta made by hand and topped with arselle, risotto with seafood and malloreddus, small dumplings of semolina seasoned with tomato sauce, fresh sausage and aged pecorino cheese. Excellent onion ravioli with fresh pecorino cheese and "culingionis", a handmade pasta filled with boiled eel and pecorino cheese.

As for the fish dishes stand out the grilled mixed fish, the mullet "schiscionera" and the capon fish that is served stewed with potatoes. Among the meat dishes we recommend the "coiettas" meat rolls filled with pecorino cheese and bacon, lamb with artichokes and beef fillet with "Anghelu Ruiu", a fortified wine and marsala.

A real delight are the typical sweets of Campidano called "is candelaus" that are kneaded using as raw material sweet almond paste and sugar with orange flower water. The best known wines are Nuragus, Malvasia, Cannonau and Campidano, while Mastino is a typical liqueur.
