Perhaps not everyone knows it but the origin of Halloween could be here: it is an ancient custom that, depending on the area, takes the name of Su Mortu Mortu or Is Animeddas. And for this reason, since you are wondering where to go for a little trip on Halloween, we recommend you visit Sardinia.
But we must first specify one thing. Forget about the “stereotypical” Halloween and also the canonical places that immediately come to mind during this party. In Sardinia you will see some very special places, full of charm and with the right atmosphere to fully enjoy this particular time of the year.
Here are our tips:
Historically, these are houses in the rock of pre-Nuragic origin, houses that were actually occupied. The popular tradition, instead, has transformed them into the houses of fairies, beings protagonists of many stories that would wander in the countryside at night. In particular, there are many and very well preserved in the surroundings of Porto Torres.
There are several legends that have arisen around this place. According to the most widespread, Lucifer was unarmed in the sky by the Archangel Gabriel and his saddle fell to the ground, forming that unmistakable promontory that makes the panorama of Cagliari even more unique.
The castle of Casteldoria is also a place imbued with legends, ranging from fabulous treasures to perilous battles against fearsome enemies. Incidentally, Casteldoria is also one of the main spas of Sicily, where maybe spending a few days of total relaxation.
Can you imagine something more “Halloween” than an ancient manor covered with shadows that looks at you at the height of centuries and centuries of history? Well, the castles of Sardinia may be just that: in the five-step itinerary that we suggest, in addition to the aforementioned castle of Casteldoria, there are also, for example, the castle of Pedres and the castle of Burgos.
That’s why we recommend Sardinia as a place to go for Halloween. And all you have to do is just book the ferry trip.
