October 14, 2025, Sant'Antioco Waterfront

A pleasant, scenic walk along the harbor and the calm waters of the lagoon. From here, you can admire the sunset over the gulf, watch the fishing boats return, or simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the seaside village.

With approximately 14,000 inhabitants, Villacidro is one of the main towns in the Medio Campidano region and is located at the foot of the Monte Linas massif, in a green valley surrounded by hills and streams. The town is known for its olive oil, citrus fruits, and cherries, as well as for its strong artisanal and gastronomic traditions. In the historic center, you'll find shops, bars, restaurants, and various accommodation options. Nearby, the Sa Spendula waterfall, one of the town's symbols, and the Canale Serci mine, where tin was mined as far back as the Nuragic era, are worth a visit.

I recommend the Sant Antioco-Calasetta trek, walking all along the coast and passing through Cussorgia, 24 km round trip, an experience not to be missed!!

The artistic paving mosaic of basalt and light limestone forms a geometric pattern of interlocking hexagons in the village square of Sant'Antioco. This settlement on the island of the same name bears the name of the martyr Antiochus of Sulci, who died here in the 2nd century under Roman rule. The island is home to one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in Sardinia, beginning with the Phoenician foundation of Sulci in the 8th century BC. After Punic and Roman settlement, Sant'Antioco was repeatedly invaded by Saracens in the Middle Ages, forcing the population to temporarily flee into the island's interior. The geometric patterns in the street paving connect this complex history with Mediterranean craft traditions.

The blue and yellow wooden barge with its characteristic side floats represents an adapted fassone, a traditional fishing boat of Sardinian coastal communities. Its flat design and stabilizing outriggers allow navigation in shallow lagoon waters while providing safety in rough seas. While modern motorboats in the background illustrate the current recreational use of Sardinian coastal waters, the fassone bears witness to centuries-old fishing traditions dating back to Phoenician and Roman influences, which continue to this day in local fishing methods and maritime customs.

Between rocks and fragrant maquis, spurge (Euphorbia) sprouts – with its bright green, almost surreal flowers, a typical sight in Sardinian spring. This undemanding plant thrives where drought, wind, and sun reign. It secretes a white milky sap that was once used for healing – or poisoning.
