Longu

A slight accidental detour took us through Padria, and in the village we spotted one of the brown signs directing us to an archaelogical area.

Follow the signs – part way along, there’s a huge map at the roadside of areas of interest in the vicinity – and right at the end of the road there’s a gate on the left with a path and steps climbing the hill.

On the plateau, there are nuraghic village huts – hard to work out in the long grass – and the nuraghe itself is to the left behind a tree. It doesn’t look that impressive ..... till you get round the other side!
