Festa del borgo e sagra del civraxiu

In the heart of Sardinia's Marmilla region, Sanluri prepares to celebrate one of the most authentic symbols of the island's bread-making tradition: the civraxiu. This gastronomic fair, an integral part of the lively Village Festival, is an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in genuine flavors and the culinary heritage of Sardinia. The civraxiu, a slow-fermented bread with a crispy crust and soft crumb, has represented the excellence of traditional Sardinian baking for centuries, and this year it will be the true star of a celebration honoring memory, craftsmanship, and community. Throughout the day, the village's historic bakeries will exceptionally open their doors to visitors, offering fascinating demonstrations of artisanal bread-making. Civraxiu will be served in all its forms: paired with prized extra virgin olive oil, the finest local cured meats and traditional pecorino cheeses, enriched by delicious hearty dishes from rural cuisine that tell the deep-rooted story of Sardinian land. But the Village Festival is far more than just tasting: the streets will come alive with authentic folk music, processions in traditional costumes evoking bygone eras, interactive workshops for children, and markets brimming with local zero-kilometer products. A complete experience that combines culinary pleasure with a rediscovery of Sardinian culture and identity.
