A holiday in Sardinia 1 I 2

However, after just half an hour’s walk, visitors find themselves again immersed in rich vegetation and lush green countryside. Along the coast too, rounding a promontory where the sea swirls below towering cliffs, visitors will come upon a sheltered cove where, with the same grace, the waves gently lap the white, sandy shore. And let us not forget the fabulous union of the sun and the wind, when the fresh Mistral wind turns the sea into a shimmering palette of colours and the sky becomes a merry-go-round of clouds. However, a holiday in Sardinia also means welcoming the challenge to penetrate the souls of a people who are both proud of their traditional closure towards external contamination, but also show incredible hospitality towards visitors. Insularity is, in fact, a sate of mind before it is a geographic characteristic.

It is the strength which originates from the sense of belonging to a circumscribed world, whose aquatic boundaries are immovable. It is the pride of belonging to a unique culture, which in spite of numerous periods of colonisation has managed to preserve its original language and folklore.

Finally, a holiday in Sardinia can also be defined as a multi-sensorial experience, since visitors to this land cannot fail to be seduced and struck by its images, fragrances and flavours. But whether it is the colour of the sea or the aroma of the myrtle leaves, the taste of its cheeses or the sound of the launeddas, visitors will take away with them the image of a mysterious and fascinating island, dominated by ancestral and unchangeable characteristics, and steeped in history and tradition.
