Breakfast at the hotel, disengagement of the rooms and departure for the visit of Mamoiada and Orgosolo. Mamoiada is a welcoming center of two thousand and 500 inhabitants in the heart of the Barbagia di Ollolai, on the border between Gennargentu and Supramonte. The evocative Mamoiadine Carnival is one of the island’s oldest popular celebrations, an attraction for visitors from around the world. Protagonists, the Mamuthones who wear a black mask with marked features, carved in precious woods, and wear sheepskins on which they load thirty kilos of bells (sa carriga). During the parades, they advance with a rhythmic step, generating dizzying sounds. The ancestral dance is punctuated by the Issohadores in elegant red bodice and white mask. The viseras, works of the “masters of wood”, are exhibited in the museum of Mediterranean masks, where you will discover traditions linked to disguises, typical of agro-pastoral communities and linked to various ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean. Continue to Orgosolo and visit the famous wall paintings. Cradle of archaic traditions, Orgosolo reveals a deep link with its roots: it is the homeland of Canto a Tenore, proclaimed World Heritage by UNESCO. Inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the domus de Janas, the tombs of the giants and the nuraghi on Calavriche, Mereu and Gorropu, in the late 1800s, the city became topical for banditry. During the twentieth century, a cultural ferment that is still active, Muralism, developed, originally an instrument of contestation. The narrow streets and stone houses are enriched with beautiful paintings, which have given the city international fame. Many artists have helped to create a real open-air museum: hundreds of murals color the streets and tell about customs and traditions, culture and intimate dissensions. After the visit, typical lunch with the shepherds. Even more flavor in the typical Sardinian cuisine appreciated in the open air, among the hundred-year-old holm oaks, or in the sheepfolds during lunches with the shepherds, which leads to the discovery of the most authentic flavors of this ancient land. In the mountain sheepfolds, the shepherds prepare lunches in the open air, in the shade of woods of hundred-year-old oaks and junipers, in contact with nature, with the flavors and aromas typical of our menu, based on cold cuts and cheese; boiled lamb with potatoes; Porcetto on the spit; typical dessert; everything becomes doubly pleasant on the palate if it is accompanied by the full-bodied local wine, the cannonau with an intense color and flavor. And if you want to enjoy an authentic digestif without additions, the local eau-de-vie, l’Abbardente, with an alcohol content never lower than 50 °, is ideal to end a hearty meal.
Transfer to Olbia or Baja Sardinia in a 4 **** hotel for dinner and overnight.
