Let yourself be swept away by an unforgettable off-road adventure, exploring the territory, history, and gastronomic traditions of Orosei, in the eastern center of Sardinia.

Description of the experience

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable off-road adventure, exploring the territory, history, and gastronomic traditions of Orosei, located in the eastern center of Sardinia.

We will embark on a 4×4 journey towards Su Barone Beach in Orosei. It is here that you will admire the untouched natural area characterized by a dense pine forest embracing a vast golden sandy beach, washed by emerald-colored waters typical of this stretch of coastline.

We will make a stop at the Nuraghe Gulunie di Osalla, one of the few coastal nuraghes built during the mysterious Nuragic Age, when the ancient Nuragic civilization constructed over 7,000 nuraghes across Sardinia. From the observation point of this unique Nuraghe, a natural spectacle unfolds, encompassing the northern coast up to the mouth of the Cedrino River and reaching south to the green Osala Beach in the territory of Dorgali.

Lastly, we will participate in a brief artisanal pasta workshop managed by a young craftsman from Orosei, who will teach us how to prepare various types of pasta typical of Orosei and Sardinia, such as macarrones de busa, gnocchetti, ravioli, culurgiones, and delicious seadas with honey.
