West Coast Area Information
COSTA VERDE AND ITS TERRITORY
where: in the province of Cagliari, in the town limits of Arbus and Guspini.
position: Sardinia's western coast, between Capo Pecora (South) and Capo Frasca (North)
length: 47 km
villages near the sea: Marina di Arbus, Tunaria and Torre dei Corsari
The area
The writer and journalist Giampaolo Pansa writes in the introduction of his book "Montevecchio, a mine of emotions": "One year I happened to come to Piscinas and I thought I would spend a sea holiday like many others I had spent in Sardinia. On the contrary, I was enchanted by a world I didn't know.
I am now captured by a magic, which will fascinate me until the end of my life".
Beautiful beaches, small bays, rocky ravines, sheer walls on the sea, and sandy deserts, which reach the sea, follow one another along the coast-line.
The maquis stretches all around between centuries-old prickly junipers and wild olives, which "climb" on the dunes; the north-western wind "bends" them and they almost touch the ground.
If you look inland from the sea you can't avoid noticing the huge shape of Arcuentu: it is an imposing mountain, which has inspired a thousand legends. On its top you can observe the ruins of a castle dating back to the "Giudicale" period.
Its nature
The inland is extremely evocative too: there are holm-oak, cork-oak and common oak woods, which hide the spectral structures of the abandoned mines: the very beautiful Lord Brassey's washery inside the Ingurtosu mine and the large towers of Piccalinna and Sant'Antonio in the valley of the eastern mine of Montevecchio. These are real monuments, declared "Cultural heritage of the entire mankind" by Unesco. Inside them you can admire a wide range of very interesting archaeological remains.
The underbrush vegetation is very rich: Legambiente has obtained from the commune of Guspini to open a seat in the old school rooms: flora and fauna of this corner of paradise are studied there.
Brooms, almond trees, peach trees and acacias have wonderful colours in the springtime.
The area has become the kingdom of Sardinian deer after the mines have been closed: it is an ungulate, which has been living on the island for thousands of years, and has now finally become a protected species.
Other wild species live in that territory too, like for example the European wild cats, marten cats, wild boars, hawks, buzzards, Bonelli eagles and a great variety of birds
10 THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T MISS
Handicraft-knives of Guspini and Arbus
They are beautiful objects, very much appreciated by collectors. Sa Guspinesa, a classic and cut knife and s'Arburesa, are two splendid clasp knives, which are the pride of insular handicraft-cutlery, along with pattadesa. The knife was used by shepherds and was also one of Montevecchio's miners' most useful objects: they used the Guspinesa tronca, to eat and cut bread and cheese during the rare pauses.
Piscinas beach
Sardinia's desert. The beach is surrounded by very high dunes for more than three square kilometres. The beach, which is 6 km long, is almost deserted, even in summertime. There is a only one building: the hotel "Le Dune", which is a renovated industrial structure, which stands perfectly inside the surrounding environment.
Deserted mines and the little villages of Montevecchio and Ingurtosu The mine structures and the villages are completely surrounded by vegetation.
The small villages stand inside a metalliferous complex, which was one of the most productive ones in Europe up to some decades ago. The nineteenth-century plants are very beautiful and stand in a splendid natural environment. You should visit the small palaces of Gennas, with the beautiful head office palace, the wells of Piccalinna and Sant'Antonio in Montevecchio and Lord Brassey's washery and its head office in Ingurtosu.
The view you can enjoy from the Mount Arcuentu
It is very hard to reach the top, but once you are there you can admire the territory as far as Piscinas and its coastal deserts. You shouldn't miss it.
The frescos in the Montevecchio head office They date back to the last century and have been recently restored. They have been also immortalized in a scene of the movie "Bàkunin's son". The so-called "Sala Blu" (Blue Room) is beautiful.
The coastal road from Marina di Arbus to Piscinas The road is almost completely paved and you can drive in front of a fantastic sea for about 8 km. Farm holidays in the area of Guspini There are several and economic farm holidays, which offer excellent service and delicious specialities.
Montevecchio woods The very green tangle of vegetation is a corner of forest inside western Sardinia.
The sky at at night in Montevecchio
The sky is almost always clean during summer nights: a curious observer can admire stars and planets never seen before, in great numbers.
Scivu beach
It is the pearl of this area. A prehsitoric corner in the XXI century: crystal-clear water and overhanging rocks. Wonderful.
