Food and wine tour in Orosei

The landscapes of Orosei: between nature and history

We start this food and wine tour in Orosei aboard our Land Rover four-wheel drive vehicles. We follow a road between sea and countryside to reach the naturalistic area of ​​Su Barone, famous for its large pine forests and the long beach.

The landscape is an alternation of small fish ponds. We can meet clam fishermen, bent over fresh water, and the white herons that silently observe the seabed waiting for the passage of the mullets.

Then we move east towards the thick pine forest, that separates the ponds from the long and wide beach. After a short stop for some naturalistic observations, we move to a nuraghe called Gulunie of Osalla, a small jewel of nuragic architecture (bronze age) placed as an observation point on the hill overlooking the coast.

Here we can admire a splendid panoramic view: the Cedrino river (north) and the enchanting beach of Osalla in the Dorgali area (south). A perfect moment to take some pictures!
