Holiday apartment in Sa Castanza: trails, culture and traditions

Sa Castanza combines the experience of walking, local history and Sardinian folk traditions. If you are considering a holiday apartment in Sa Castanza, you will find a place that serves as an alternative starting point for the Cammino di Bonaria stage to Alà dei Sardi and is also one of the villages and localities along this stage. This combination of walking and culture opens up different possibilities for planning your trip.

Trails and orientation in Sa Castanza

For planning the stages, there is a water supply point at kilometre 2.5 in Sa Castanza; at kilometre 5, another refreshment and water point is located near Casa Maria Carmela. The Church of San Giovanni Battista is also in the village; it was built around 1930. This makes it possible to consider trail planning and local history together during your stay.

Holiday apartment in Sa Castanza between culture and experiences

The 2023 Scorraboi con Noi walk followed the SP79 on foot to the Monumento del Pastore and to a place where people used to stop for a break during transhumance. For 2023, Scorraboi con Noi was announced as a cultural walk with music in the village of Sa Castanza-Berchiddeddu. The 2023 edition of Scorraboi con Noi in Sa Castanza was the ninth edition. The planned programme also included a visit to a house that is home to the rural library of the Associazione S’Abboju.

Music and dance represent further cultural connections with the village. The folk group Sa Castanza was associated with the Scottis and the event dedicated to this dance in Sa Castanza. The Abboju association linked to Sa Castanza was founded in 2000 and conveys Sardinian folk traditions through dance. At the 26th edition of the Rassegna dello Scottis in Sa Castanza, folk groups and choirs from Gallura and the Nuorese area came together; the event was hosted by the Gruppo Folk Su Rodu.

Landscape between summit and rocky slopes

The summit of Lu Casteddu di Lu Malchesi offers an opportunity to experience nature and the landscape. It lies at an elevation of 349 metres above sea level and provides a view over the plain and the Gulf of Olbia. The Berchiddeddu necropolis stretches along the rocky slopes of Monte Salvannuri and adds an archaeological site to the range of landscapes.

When choosing between a holiday apartment and a holiday home, you can make your preferred daily rhythm the starting point: the stage, with its water and refreshment points, calls for different planning than a stay focused on the church, library, music, dance or landscape. For families with different interests, this division can help organise active sections and cultural discoveries in the travel plan. This allows you to choose accommodation in Sa Castanza based on the experiences you would like to combine.
