  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Discover an enchanting island
  an unspoiled land
  old as time
  with a rich history
  Learn a bit of Italian if you like.
  Share your culture, language, and life experiences.
  
  & in your free time -
  explore the island
  and discover a land
  coveted at one time
  or another
  by Italians, Spanyards, Vandals,
  Goths, Byzantines, Romans,
  Etruscans, Carthaginians, Phoenicians,
  Mycenaeans, Philistines, Shardana
  
  Come hear the sing-song local "Campidanese" dialect
  of the Sardinian language
  - sister of Italian & Spanish
  descended from Latin
  
  Sample traditional dishes
  malloreddus, maialino, and seadas
  or the abundant "catch of the day" -
  local species of bream (orata, dentice)
  grouper (cernia) sea bass (spigola) or sole (sogliola)
  and shellfish - Aragosta (lobster) gamberi (shrimp), granchi (crab),
  arselle (clam), cozze (mussels)
  
  Imbibe the local vitis vinifera varietals -
  Cannonau (grenache), Monica, Carignano (Carignan),
  Vermentino (Pigato, Favorita, Arratelau, Nasco) or Nuragus
  as well as the after dinner "digestivi" liqueurs
  Mirto nero. Mirto bianco, and arancino
  or the local moonshines "Filu e' Ferru"
  and "Acqua Vite" (“water of the grape”)
  
  Experience one of the world's oldest
  forms of polyphonic singing
  which has enchanted the likes of
  Frank Zappa and Peter Gabriel
  
  Beyond beaches
  explore mountainous forests
  visit Chalcolithic megalithic Nuraghe,
  which indigenous people were building here
  around the same time ancient Egyptians and Celts
  were piling up their own stone pyramids & henges
  Pay a call on the Dolmens, necropoleis (city of the dead),
  or the pre-Nuragic sculptures "Giants of Monte Prama"
  from sometime around the 9th century BC
  at the Museums in Cagliari & Cabras
  
  Lose yourself in the woods
  picking mushrooms, wild fennel,
  wild asparagus,
  mirto, capers, pomegranate
  - depending on the season -
  or hunt wild boar!
  
  Hike, spelunk, climb,
  trek, shepherd, bike,
  walk, surf, swim, snorkel...
  wander, walkabout, scooter, canoe, kayak
  
  Dive on centuries of shipwrecks
  just off the coast
  or dive in off the rocks
  Come sailing, surf, or go fly a kite...
  
  Or, simply lay in the sun
  relax
  decompress
  & chill...
