The ancient salt works of Conti Vecchi and meet with the artisan Mariu

A trip to Cagliari and Sardinia in the last century: war, hunger, poverty and the various attempts at industrialization of the island.


Visiting Conti Vecchi Salt-works will bring you back to the last century when Sardinia was shocked by wars, hunger, poverty and attempts to industrialize the island.

 

Thanks to FAI you will visit the old mechanic shop, offices, chemical labs; we will have  a miniature train tour along the lagoon between pink flamingoes and salt mountains to understand how salt is made.

 

The salt-works are placed in the Lagoon Santa Gilla, one of the most important wetland and natural habitat in Europe for its biodiversity: here live hundreds of bird species and the undisputed king, the Pink flamingo!

 

This original guided tour ends by meeting the artisan Mario who will show his art in weaving baskets delighting us with the stories of the past and today.
