Each season depicts its colours on this harsh, primitive, silent land, stretching its thousand shades amid valley and buttresses. The routes for adventurous trekking or comfortable off-road vehicle rides unwind through ancient sheperds paths, amid smooth slopes or vertiginous ravines and cliffs, stretching through infinite landscapes that dissolve into horizon. Natural grottoes, prehistoric tombs and nuragic villages evoke the presence of ancient, extinct civilisations, as in Tiscali, Lanaitho or Gorroppu, sites whose very names bring old myths and legends to mind. Land of pre-historical forms and magic, landscapes, smells and colours of intoxicating beauty, this is Barbagia. Here the sheperd, even today, watches the silence and mistery of the land. And in the relaxed, cuncomplicated hospitality of his hut, treats you to juicy meat roasted on aromatic wood, to succulent sausages and tender cheeses, to glasses of mighty Cannonau, to sips of joy filling filu 'e ferru. |
