meters of altitude and reachable from Tempio Pausania within a few minutes. The town

the town is based on agriculture, the exploitation of cork, granite, farming, the
cultivation of vine and the production of wine. In particular typical wines of the
territory are: Nebbiolo, Vermentino and Moscato. To visit around the country we suggest
the olive trees of a thousand years old in Luras and the ethnographic museum of
Luras.Along the artificial lake of Luras, caused after the construction of the dam, you
arrive at the site where you can admire two thousand years old olive trees that deserve
the price of the ticket and a guided tour. The first olive tree that you can admire is
about 5000 years old. It is impressive to stay close to this plant and think that 2000
years ago this tree was already there. It has been witness to thousand years of
history! The Ethnographic Museum is one of the most important of Sardinia. Inside the
museum you can admire the history of "female agabbadora." It is a testimony of how the
euthanasia was already practiced in past centuries.

In immersion on the island Cavoli or Serpentara it is easy to find large flocks of barracuda, dentex, ducts, corvine and many other fish that are scarce in other localities of the Mediterranean. It is impressive, and who writes so can confirm for I have seen it happen, how in 10 years have appearead fish not seen for long time. I also happened to see lobsters, cicadas and other crustaceans and even touched them! The solutions for a vacation in Villasimius are many.

Unfortunately where there are so many beautiful things there are also less beautiful ones. If we have to find a mole in Villasimius this is linked to locals who often leave the night to go to fights and events that in recent years have partly damaged the reputation of villasimius.

In the Middle Ages it was populated by families of Sardinian shepherds dedicated to the custody of the flock and Ligurian fishermen who occupied traps along the coast. Since 1885 the state decided to establish an openair penal colony. The island was banned to the inhabitants and expropriated.
