For centuries, Sardinia is the custodian of a rich cultural heritage of
the Mediterranean. In the area
of Sulcis Iglesiente you can rediscover the beauty and the mystery of
traditional events as an intriguing flashback to the past. You will get
involved in the events and traditions that reduce the gap between
the old and the modern and will be amazed by original local festivals.
Here are some interesting
suggestions:The
Feast of Sant’Antioco dates back to
1519 and takes place on the second Sunday after
Easter, it lasts four days and celebrates the patron saint of the island
