Cuglieri is the perfect location of west Sardinia those who want to spend their vacations
between see and mountain. Summer is the most animated time of the year for the village.
But what can you do this summer in Cuglieri ?
Take part in religious events
Many religious events take place in Cuglieri every summer. They’re an occasion to dive
deep into the tradition and history of a place where faith has deep roots. We start in June
with Saint John. On June 23rd, at 6 pm, we gather in complete silence for the ritual of
S’Abba Muda. While the town is lit by fire flares, we let the soul of the dead to wander
through its streets. We walk to the sources of Tiu Memmere, still in silence. Though on the,
24 during the afternoon, we see the actual procession.
On the fifth of August, Santa Maria della Neve, whose simulacrum is carried in a procession,
and on the tenth of August, for San Lorenzo, we organize country fairs where we gather to
eat traditional dishes to the sound of music.
The beaches
Cuglieri is a location where beaches are one of the main attraction. Very large beaches, with
a crystal clear that ranger from emerald green to turquoise waters passing by a beautiful
deep blue where you’ll be able to rent canoes, SUPs, surfboards. S’archittu is the most lively
one: spectacles and music by the seaside with a one of a kind scenography characterized by
a natural arc which was formed through the centuries. The beach is perfect for families
thanks to its shallow and tranquil waters.
Visit the waterfall
Those who love nature can devote their summer days visiting the main cascades of Cuglieri,
genuine monuments of Nature. The recommended trails are those which lead to the
cascades of S’Iscala, S’Aattentu, and S’Istrampu of Massabari. Here, you can not only
admire wonderful and unique views, but also take refreshing baths in the ponds formed by
the waterfalls themselves. You can also pay a summery visit the waterfall of Capu Nieddu, of
the rare seaside cascades of Europe, and its impressive 40m of height. During summer,
even though the Rio Salinghes are dry, it is possibile to walk the walk the coast during a light
but fascinating hike.
