Overview of your Orosei tour:

On this tour, you'll discover the history of the region of Baronia, especially during medieval times. As we go on a walk through Orosei's historic centre, I'll tell you about the people and legends of the town I live in. In the Middle Ages, this town played an important role, as can be witnessed by the "Preione Vezza" (the old prison). Would you like a coffee? We'll have one in my garden! We'll also head north to Santa Lucia, a picturesque fishermen's village where we'll find a tower that was used to spot Saracen pirates coming in from the sea. We'll visit the medieval village of Posada too, where the remains of the ancient fortress "Castello della Fava" sit atop a 90-metre-high plateau. So much history may make you hungry, so we'll go to a small restaurant where we'll eat right on the waterfront, maybe fresh fish! Besides enjoying the magnificent view of the crystal-clear sea, we'll also take in the fields along the Posada river. We will not finish the tour without visiting a ceramic artisan family.

Your Orosei tour itinerary

-After picking you up, we'll walk around the old town of Orosei until we stop for a coffee break in my own garden (I live here!). -Next, we'll drive North towards the fisherman town of Santa Lucia where we'll have lunch at the seafront (possibility to swim at the beach). -We'll then visit the medieval castle "Castello della Fava" and the old town of Posada, one of the "borghi autentici d'Italia", Italian authentic villages) -Next, we'll visit a ceramics factory where you'll see how a family of potters of 3 generations make masterpieces with their hands. Pottery is an ancient art that's been passed on from generation to generation, also in Medieval times. Some symbols like the "Sardinian hen" or the red coral have been depicted on ceramics and other materials since ancient times! You'll be able to get some souvenirs here. -At last, return to Orosei (possibility to customize the tour and add a wine tasting and dinner in a local vineyard in the evening- upon reservation and availability of the winemaker).
