Siniscola is a town of twelve thousand inhabitants, the most populous of the Baronie<\/strong>, second in the province of Nuoro<\/strong>, 50 kilometers from Olbia<\/strong>. In Roman times it was Portus Lugudonis<\/em>, a mansion<\/em> in the littoral towards Karalis<\/em>. All around a multifaceted scenery: limestone relief, gorges and overhangs, hills and plains, pastures and vineyards, lagoons and beaches, ideal places for trekking, horseback riding, caving, free climbing<\/em> and surfing. Along the silvery ridge of theAlbo<\/em>, you’ll travel evocative routes, once the paths of charcoal burners and shepherds, among archaeological sites and pinnettos<\/em>, among forests of holm oaks and Mediterranean scrub, populated by mouflon, golden eagle and chough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The grandeur of Montalbo<\/strong> dominates the landscape: the ‘Sardinian dolomite’ with its white rocks overlooks 25 kilometers of coastline, half of which is fine, clear sand.<\/p>

The summit is ‘lunar’, downstream sinkholes, chasms, underground rivers and caves, inhabited in prehistory: Bona Fraule<\/em>, where iron weapons have been found, Gane ‘e Gortoe<\/strong><\/em>, rich in limestone concretions, sa Conca ‘e Locoli<\/strong><\/em>, eroded by the impetuousness of the water, and sa Prejone ‘e ‘Orcu<\/strong><\/em>, nuragic cave-sanctuary. There are thirty nuragic settlements in all, including the villages of Luthuthai<\/em> and Rempellos<\/em>, the Conca Umosa <\/em>nuraghe, and the Giants’ tombs sas Kolovranas<\/em>, su Itichinzu <\/em>, and su Piccante<\/em>. The first human traces are from the sixth millennium B.C., in the cave of El\u00e8ne Portiche<\/em>, next is Cuccuru ‘e Janas<\/strong><\/em>, ‘hill of the fairies,’ a cave with radiating burial chambers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From the mountains, paths reach the beaches, interrupted by low cliffs and framed by clear, turquoise waters. First stop, La Caletta<\/strong>, seaside hamlet and marina with five-kilometer golden beach bordered by pond on Graneri<\/em> and pine forest. Heading south you will find St. Lucia<\/strong>, a fishing village, where Flavors of the Sea<\/strong> with seafood tastings take place in June and the International Festival<\/strong> shows in September. This is followed by the enchanting s’Ena e sa Chitta<\/strong><\/em>, the ‘confetti beach’: white sand and smooth rocks. A little further south, the giant dunes and centuries-old junipers of Cape Comino<\/strong>, a movie setting. Behind, the ponds of Salina Manna<\/em> and Salinedda<\/em>. Still further south, you will come to B\u00e8rchida<\/strong><\/em>, pearl of the east coast with its dazzling radiance, given by white sands, emerald waters and golden reliefs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In Spanish times the coast was protected by watchtowers, reminders of Saracen raids. One remains in Santa Lucia and one from 1608 that dominates, along with the 18th-century parish church of St. John the Baptist<\/strong>, the medieval town center. Worth visiting is Our Lady of Health<\/strong>, built near the ‘healing’ spring of <\/strong>Luittu<\/em>, one of many that dot the area. Endless events: fireworks of St. Anthony the Abbot<\/strong>, carnival<\/strong>, Holy Week<\/strong>, the Spring<\/strong> Stage in Baronia<\/strong>. In mid-October, the most heartfelt (and secular) celebration for Our Lady of Grace<\/strong>. Religiosity is also manifested in various festivals, in which you will grasp the authenticity of the community and taste cannonau<\/strong><\/em> and pecorino cheese, suppa<\/em> thiniscolesa<\/em> menus and roasted meats. The emblem of Siniscola is sa pompia<\/strong><\/em>, a large citrus fruit, a cross between citron and lemon, from which delicious sweets of laborious preparation are made: pomp\u00eca intrea<\/em> and s’aranzata<\/em>. It is also used in cosmetics and herbal medicine.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
