About this episode

Today, we're venturing to Cargeghe, a charming village nestled in the heart of Sardinia.

We're joined by Rosalia, the enthusiastic president of Cargeghe's Pro Loco association. She'll be our guide through this enchanting locale, revealing secrets that even seasoned travellers might miss.

Get ready for a fascinating journey as we explore Cargeghe's ancient Neolithic tombs, known as 'fairy houses', and wander along a Roman road that has withstood millennia. We'll discover how this tiny village became home to Sardinia's first library dedicated entirely to Sardinian books, and learn about the thrilling 'via ferrata' that offers daring visitors breathtaking views.

Rosalia will also share tales of Cargeghe's unique apple festival, a culinary extravaganza that puts a humble fruit in the spotlight. We'll delve into the village's rich folklore, including the traditional game of 'morra' that still captivates the younger generation.

Join us as we unravel the stories behind this hidden gem and discover why Cargeghe is a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic Italian experience.
