In September the colors are warmer. The light is softer and contours of things are more defined. Although the days begin to shorten, I live more intensely the little moments that I can steal to go to the sea.

IL CAMINETTO IN CABRAS
Il Caminetto is perhaps the most famous restaurant in Cabras, highlighted in the Michelin Guide and usually appears in most known tourist guides. Il Caminetto is characterized by fish dishes made with a very classic style. It is also the most “elegant” restaurant in the town and surroundings, where even though you can go casual dress, at night, customers take the opportunity to get ready for a little more and also to be a place for special celebrations, also given its price . We will not lie, it is expensive. In our opinion some dishes have an exaggerated price and can lead to disappointment if we compare them with other options in the area, but in general, it is a very good restaurant and it is necessary to highlight some of its typical dishes of the area, especially its exceptional fish. To start as an antipasti we chose the famous…

THE BEACHES OF ALGHERO
Alghero is perhaps the most beautiful medieval city on the island and its beaches are part of its beauty.Its name, Alguer or Alghero, Alghero in Italian, S’Alighèra in Sardinian and L’Alguer in Catalan, comes from the algae that are deposited on San Giovanni beach after the rainy days. Alghero has white sand beaches and calm and transparent waters and also allows us to deepen the culture and history of the city visiting its old town, its museums, historical buildings and also, we can make several trips to other nearby areas of great value natural and cultural.

MOUNT SIRAI: TESTIMONY OF CIVILIZATION IN THE HEART OF THE MOST OLD SARDINIA
If you visit the Sulcis in Iglesias area, you will find yourself in one of the oldest areas of Sardinia, on the land where the first Nuragic, Phoenician and Punic civilizations settled. Mount Sirai is a true open-air archaeological museum. It was inhabited by the Nuraghic people from the first half of the second millennium BC, from the Neolithic era. In 750 a.C., the Phoenicians of ancient Lebanon, who were already living in Sulki, the current Sant’Antioco, settled in the territory of Mount Sirai and lived in their village. When the Phoenicians arrived, they probably found a nuraghe 14 meters high that connected all the nuraghi in the area. The Phoenicians used it as a sacred area and around it they built the village and the tombs. The town was used as a civil settlement and not a military one. It extended to more than 2 hectares of land and…

A day like today, 4 years ago, we started our blog in Nora. We invite you to remember our first article!
TABERN SU TZILLERI ‘E SU DOGE IN CAGLIARI
Su Tzilleri ‘e su Doge, a restaurant that was an excellent option to spend a Friday night in Cagliari, with a group of Sardinian and Spanish friends. The restaurant is managed by Claudio Ara, a chef with 40 years of profession.Claudio is part of a group of chefs determined to support the Slow Food and small local producers, custodians of biodiversity, who use only their products, every day. In Su Tzilleri ‘e su Doge we will find an ancient and typical flavor of two extraordinary regions, united by the mountains and the sea, by the agro-pastoral culture and by the maritime culture: Sardinia and Veneto. We have found an authentic Mediterranean cuisine very creative. On this occasion, we wanted to try different soups, a perfect dish for a winter night! La Minestre is a soup based on traditional recipes that our grandmother would have prepared. Then they offered us a…

BAUNEI, A TOWN ISOLATED IN THE ISOLATED OGLIASTRA
Baunei, nestled between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Gennargentu Mountains, in the heart of eastern Sardinia in the Ogliastra area, has a wild landscape, which prides its inhabitants and intrigues its visitors, who increasingly choose their holidays in Ogliastra . . It is one of the most uninhabited areas of Europe and, without a doubt, Baunei is the perfect option to get lost during a few days of rest or to enjoy the nature that surrounds it. The area is a paradise for lovers of trekking or climbing (it is rare that you do not see climbers! It has climbing areas considered the most difficult in the world!). The sensations are very different. Sometimes you feel relaxed in contact with nature and sometimes you even feel oppressed by the feeling of isolation. Therefore, the area does not leave indifferent! In Sardinia12, we like to share experiences that are valid throughout…
