- Sardinian food and wine: from the Carignano del Sulcis to pecorino sardo cheese
When you first got here, in the region of Sardinia called Sulcis-Iglesiente you immediately feel why it is also known as Costa Verde-The Green Coast-: this place is remote, wild and has an industrial mines past that forged the landscape and the people.This past of mineral extraction(started 8.000 years ago) creates a unique combination of abandoned mine sites together with the natural beauty of the area and stimulates the curiosity of whom come to this area for the first time, that feeling of “here there’s a story to be told”. In 2007, this mining area (circa 3.800 km2) was added to the Geoparks list of UNESCO. The more I cycled towards the south the more I got to know the Sardinian people, very helpful, welcoming and smiling (sometimes with a sardonic laughter! Some people say comes from their way of laughing to the various invaders they had for centuries…)N The Sulcis region is famous (in the world of wines) for the Carignano, a red grape that can live with almost no water and is no more than a foot high from the ground, because the strong winds don’t allow it to grow higher; almost every family still have a little vineyard to produce the Carignano del Sulcis and after a sip you know why they still make it! On the last day of the tour you rode a must-ride-of-a-lifetime, the so-called Costa del Sud: very panoramic, stunning glimpses and an incessant repetition of ups and downs where you think that really traveling by bike is the most fulfilling way of traveling, nothing to add!! A fresh aperitivo in the main square of Pula is the best and last reward for this cycling adventure! Happy cycling!
