Discover Iglesiente Area in this Full Day Trip from Cagliari

This tour is the one you will love, if you like nature, history, and local life! In Nebida, a must in SW Sardinia, enjoy the stunning view over the old mines and the Pan di Zucchero, "sugar loaf", an amazing white rock that contrasts with the blue of the sea. In the nearby town of Carbonia visit with me the most important mine of the area, Serbariu. You will see how miner's life was hard, you will walk in the mining galleries, you will feel moved by stepping back to the time when coal was extracted. An emotional experience for you, and touching for me as well, as my grandpa was a miner. Ajò! (come on!)

• Drive to Carbonia an hour and 20 minutes, passing along the Cixerri plain and its orchards, olive crops and vineyards. We reach the Coal Mine in Carbonia. It will be a very emotional and touching visit. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, as we're going to walk along the mining galleries. The visit lasts one hour and then, we're having a short visit at the museum of the of the miners' memories. With a short drive we arrive in Nebida, we're doing a panoramic walk (30 minutes) along the promontory to see the view over the Pan di Zucchero and the old mines. Do not forget to bring your camera with you, the view is amazing! Then we drive back to Cagliari (one hour approximately) passing along the lagoon, so we can stop to see the pink flamingoes and take pictures.
