Traditions of Ogliastra

Remembering is important, it allows us to relive emotions, gestures, moments from the past and make them eternal.

It is thanks to memory that tradition can exist and consequently so much variety of food, customs, dances and other elements that make the world extraordinarily interesting and heterogeneous.



Sardinia has a folkloric past that is still the beating heart of this wonderful region today.

To see and hear a group of Mamuthones in motion is to feel the emotion ... it is not like reading a book, it is a much more vivid sensation that conquers all the senses and makes the experience unique.


Festivals and events in and around Bari Sardo

You can't miss the events that Bari Sardo prepares throughout the year, making your stay in this village even more evocative. After a typical hot day at the beach, it is time to take to the streets and celebrate.


Religious festivals include the feast of Sant'Antonio Abate in January, the traditional procession on the occasion of Corpus Domini held in June, the feast of St John the Baptist in July and the feast of the patron saint (the Blessed Virgin of Monserrato) held in September; all this without forgetting the rituals of Holy Week with the Good Friday procession and the rite of ‘S'Incontru’ on Easter Sunday.


There are also many festivals that are organised; one of the most famous is ‘Su Nenniri’, organised on the occasion of the festivities in honour of St John the Baptist: on this occasion, the agro-pastoral world is celebrated and the preparation of pots of wheat sprouts (su nenniri), thrown into the sea as a sign of good omen at the end of the religious procession itself, is also re-enacted.



A fusion of the sacred and profane, tradition and legend that still creates interest and curiosity today.

Bari Sardo the ancient village the perfect combination of art, culture, history, beaches and events.
