Country Resort Capo Nieddu, Cuglieri - Sardinia

The province of Oristano and its eponymous capital are located in the western part of Sardinia. The fairly levelled area is relatively unknown to tourists. Nevertheless, the authentic town of Bosa and the other historic villages and archaeological sites with ancient roots in this region are definitely worth a visit. Oristano has extensive vineyards where the Vernaccia grape is grown. Don’t forget to try a glass!
The coastal area of the Sinis peninsula is a protected marine reserve. The lake of Santa Giusta is inhabited by pink flamingos and other migratory birds. The fishing village of Cabras is renowned for the production of “bottarga” (roe), which is used in many Sardinian dishes. At the equestrian tournament “Sa Sartiglia”, held in Oristano for the past 500 years on Carnival Sunday and Mardi Gras, masked horsemen galloping on steeds at breath-taking speed aim their swords at a tin star.
