Meilogu and Monteacuto
Meilogu, meaning âMiddle Place,â and Monteacuto, or âSharp Mountain.â
Although we are not speaking of the famous fantasy tale, one can say with Elvish certainty that these two lands would fit perfectly within Tolkienâs saga.
We are talking about a vast area largely scattered with dormant volcanoes, where the work of time has given us today a landscape stretching from these ancient heights down into the valleys before Lake Coghinas, a basin fed by the river of the same name, the third longest in Sardinia.
Everywhere lie the remains of the civilization that walked these lands millennia ago: nuraghi, necropolises, altars, dolmens, and giantsâ tombsâevocative, archaic traces of history that lend these places a truly literary charm.
Not to mention the many enchanted villages, or rather, enchanting hamlets, inhabited by magical beingsâor better still, by an ancient and welcoming people who guard a culture unique in the world, rich in customs, sounds, and flavors of irresistible allure.
To enter the âMiddle Placeâ and âSharp Mountain,â you wonât need invisibility, nor the company of proud and surly dwarves. All you have to do is decide how long you wish to stay and set outâready to immerse yourself in a land as captivating as a true treasure.
