One more year. The sower is throwing
seed furrows in the ground.
Two slow oxen plow,
while passing the ashen clouds
overshadowing the field,
sowings brown,
gray olive groves.

THE WINES OF SARDINIA
The wines of Sardinia need an article, in order to help the visitors of the island with their choices in their purchases or visits to restaurants.

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 .

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.
