Experience the magic of the annual Cortes Apertas festival in central Sardinia. Immerse yourself in the world of the most famous craftsmen who set up their ateliers in the courtyards, showcasing their exquisite handmade pieces. You will discover the best handcrafts, learn to make the original, crispy "pane carasau," sip on a glass of good cannonau wine, and visit an ancient site escorted by an archeologist (on request with a surcharge). Travel by minivan for about 2 hours and be transported to a world of traditional music and folkloristic procession of traditional dresses. Credit cards may not be accepted in these small Sardinian villages, so bringing cash is recommended. This tour takes about 9 hours, including transportation, and promises to highlight your trip to Sardinia. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the warmth and hospitality of the locals and be a part of the vibrant community that makes Cortes Apertas a festival to remember.
