   We will pass along the Campidano plain, with its wheat fields and olive crops, till we reach the Marmilla region, known for its round shaped hills covered by wild flowers in springtime.

   Su Nuraxi

   1h

   "Su Nuraxi" is the UNESCO Heritage site in Sardinia, dating back to the Nuraghi culture. Its oldest section was built in the Middle Bronze Age (XV century B. C. ). It consists of a massive structure compounded by towers, walls and a village, and it is amazing for the perfection of its architecture me show you how the ancient Nuraghi people lived. Follow me in the narrow paths of the village to explore the houses and the breath taking main building. The first part of the visit consists in exploring the huts and the surrounding towers . The second part will be the most exciting: climbing the massive structure, walking along the narrow corridors in order to reach the internal courtyard and exploring the highest towers
