From our dock in Oristano we traveled by bus into the ruggedly beautiful mountains of central Sardinia.Here we explored one of the many ancient stone towers sprinkled throughout the countryside.These nuraghi  were built between 1900 BC  and 700BC and most likely served as fortresses and storehouses for grain and produce.

In Orgosolo, the walls of the homes and stores display beautiful murals of political , historical and cultural significance.

In Mamoiada, we learned how the Mamuthones folk culture celebrates its agricultural and sheep herding traditions with singing, dancing in heavy fur lined costumes adorned with bells and masks.
