• The archaeological site of the domus de janas

Our half-day driver-guided 4×4 tour follows a very suggestive dirt path along the coast of the Gulf of Orosei: between granite hills, mediterranean scrub and valleys with a lunar aspect. An exclusive experience to explore Orosei and the Barony.

From Orosei we reach the hamlet of Sos Alinos, very close to the famous beaches of Cala Liberotto, Cala Ginepro, Biderosa. The landscape changes rapidly along the way. We can see the pastures on a lunar-looking valley, which we cross westwards to reach our first destination: the domus de janas, or house of the fairies.

The domus de janas looks like a large granite rock, with a curious mushroom shape. The small sacred chamber in the inside is clearly visible from the entrance. This room was created in the neolithic era. We will make a short stop to understand the function of these pre-nuragic constructions and to take some photographs.

Back on our four-wheel drive vehicle we head towards the Istiotha pass, an elevated observation point where we can admire the mountain and the sea of Barony.

After the pass, the tour takes us to the coast of Capo Comino. We will stop on the hill where the old lighthouse stands. The view is enchanting: Capo Comino, the coast of Berchidda, the hills of Biderosa, the island of Tavolara and the cliffs of the Gulf of Orosei.

It’s time to go to the beach. Here are the highest dunes on the east coast of Sardinia, dotted with thorny juniper bushes. Our experience continues with a long stop to swim in the crystal clear waters before returning to Orosei.
