Cuglieri is the perfect location of west Sardinia those who want to spend their vacations between see and mountain. Summer is the most animated time of the year for the village. But what can you do this summer in Cuglieri?
Take part in religious events
Many religious events take place in Cuglieri every summer. They’re an occasion to dive deep into the tradition and history of a place where faith has deep roots. We start in June with Saint John. On June 23rd, at 6 pm, we gather in complete silence for the ritual of S’Abba Muda. While the town is lit by fire flares, we let the soul of the dead to wander through its streets. We walk to the sources of Tiu Memmere, still in silence. Though on the, 24 during the afternoon, we see the actual procession.
On the fifth of August, Santa Maria della Neve, whose simulacrum is carried in a procession, and on the tenth of August, for San Lorenzo, we organize country fairs where we gather to eat traditional dishes to the sound of music
Going to the sea by day and by nightAndare al mare di giorno e di sera
Cuglieri is a town where the sea is one of the main attractions. Very large, beautiful beaches, with a crystal clear sea with waters that go from emerald green to turquoise passing through a beautiful bright blue where you can rent canoes, SUP and surf. S’Archittu is among those where the summer is lived with more fervor and energy: shows, music, art and culture that develop on the seashore in a unique setting distinguished by the natural arch formed, over the centuries, thanks to the erosion action of the sea. If during the day it is a beach dedicated also to families (because of its calm and shallow waters) at night the magic is amplified thanks to the activities on the promenade and on the beach.

Visit the waterfall
Those who love nature can devote their summer days visiting the main cascades of Cuglieri, genuine monuments of Nature. The recommended trails are those which lead to the cascades of S’Iscala, S’Aattentu, and S’Istrampu of Massabari. Here, you can not only admire wonderful and unique views, but also take refreshing baths in the ponds formed by the waterfalls themselves. You can also pay a summery visit the waterfall of Capu Nieddu, of the rare seaside cascades of Europe, and its impressive 40m of height. During summer, even though the Rio Salinghes are dry, it is possible to walk the walk the coast during a light but fascinating hike.
