    I came for the tour, but unfortunately, it was all booked. When we called on the call, they mentioned it was available, but the way up there was so lovely that we enjoyed every bit of it. If you were fortunate like ourselves, and you couldn't find a ticket. You can enjoy swimming or having a little picnic under the shades—a highly recommended trip.

    Even it is out of the beaten path surprisingly the beach is busy even out of the season during mid week. The landscape is amazing. The beach with white sand, crystal clear water with umbrella and deck chairs to have tent. There is a nice restaurant just right on the beach. You you rent paddle boat or kayak (10€ per hour) to take a trip to see Porto Flavio or Pan di Zucchero and go through out the small caves or even further to other beaches. It is also possible to trek to Nebida along the coast in 60 – 90 minutes.
    From Iglesias you can take a local bus (about 25 minutes) and back from Nebida, the neighboring village.

    There is pad car park but it is also possible to find some free parking places

    The cave is very beautiful, truly unique, and well cared for. I really enjoyed the tour with the train ride inside the mine. Tour guides are kind and knowledgeable, and the visit felt safe and informative

    Pan di zucchero is very beautiful! Has 133m and You can also climb on it :) From the Masua beach there are boats that can take You there in the season (from around aprile to october) And there is an easy ferrata on the top of it. Recommend :)

    Amazing experience at museum!

    We have seen much natural beauty on this side of the island and glimpses of the Sardinian mining history that has been left behind. Mute and silent, the crumbling building unable to share their story.

    Lucky for us, we were able to have it all come to life at the museum. Make sure to schedule an appointment, we tried one day but the gate is locked. The organization is ALL volunteer run and the most passionate. Francesca gave us a private tour/class answering so many of our questions and opened ideas in my brain I’ve never previously considered. I know how mining works now! The whole evolution of techniques and equipment on display because the museum is actually a previous technical school for mining students. Now returning to the old mining sites, I can identify what equipment was used for and can imagine it as it was.

    This is an affordable, fun, educational, hands on experience that I recommend completely. Visit the museum, then go see the old equipment at Nabida and monteponi after!

    Thank you Francesca!

    We did the wine tour with Mario (the owner) and his nephew (translating into English). It was a great afternoon on the winery . We tastet all the wines served with fresh baked bred, did a walk through the vineyard where Mario explained about the different soils and climas and a little bit of history. Afterwards we went inside, learned everything about the production processes and tasted wines in different stages. We ended up buying some boxes of there delicious wine and Mario even recommended and reserved a place for us in a restaurant in Iglesias after we told him we wanted to have dinner somewhere.

    It was really good experience. Mario and his nephew were really nice, explained everything in detail and showed us their passion for their small Juwel winery. Highly recommended!

    The best and most interesting small town in Sardinia with a pleasant pedestrian zone to walk through full off cafes and shops. Worth a short stop, but not much longer unless you wnat to see lots of churches...

    Arriving at the mines was different then we expected. There is almost no information and because we didn't book in advance we could not visit anything inside the closed area. It is strange to see this mine closed, it has almost a bit of a gloomy feeling, it was still functional up to the 90's but it looks amazing. We really hope they make it more accessible and then we will definitely come back. For now it is a great place to make some pretty pictures of industrial heritage.

    If you type in Piscinas Irgas into iPhone maps, it will direct you along a countryside road that eventually becomes impassable and requires you to park your car. If you take the left hand paths and follow the red and white painted marks this will take you to the waterfall, when we went it was not a waterfall but more just a trickle, still the hike was beautiful and enjoyable. You can walk along part of the Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara which is the blue sign with a castle on it and yellow arrows or the blue and white painted marks.

    A spectacular hiking trail that takes you around Sardinia, the footpaths are well signposted (we did not have or need a map but one is probably recommended) and maintained, we would have loved to have done more but we had to walk there and back as we had to arranged to do a multi day through hike. We were able to do a few parts of the trail from Nebida to Porto Flavia and a little bit further up the mountain then some do the trail around Piscinas and some of the trail around Monti Mannu. I have heard of the Cammino di Santiago but I had not heard of this one until arriving in Sardinia- there was hardly any footfall traffic, it was peaceful, secluded and an opportunity to really embrace and experience Sardinias countryside.
