In the Sulcis mines between nature and tradition

Guided excursion to delve into Sardinia's working-class past, in contact with its great beauty

An important chapter in the history of Sardinia, fundamental to fully understand its spirit and customs. A topography rich in hills and mountains, to the point of having made the Sulcis area, in the southwestern part of the region, the fulcrum of an activity capable of becoming a protagonist and driving force for the Sardinian economy. In the company of an expert guide, immerse yourself in a past of mining and toil, of now abandoned complexes, industrial structures and tracks. Visit the Porto Flavia mining tunnel, a work without equal in the world, dug into the rock overlooking the sea at the beginning of the 20th century, to facilitate the transport of coal from ships anchored in the bay. Conclude with a visit to the archaeological site of S'Ortu Mannu, where you can be fascinated by the necropolis and the adjacent monumental tombs, nicknamed the Giants' Tombs due to their size. A journey to connect with the soul of Sardinia, far from the chaos and crowds of tourists.
