Montevecchio, with its mining sites, is a flagship of the Historical and Environmental Geomining Park of Sardinia which brings together under a single reality the rich mining tradition of the island, now also accessible from a tourist point of view, and is characterized by its environmental, geological and biological peculiarities. The mining activity has shaped the landscape and culture of the mining populations, creating an environment in which the charm of history accompanies the visitor among the splendid testimonies of industrial archaeology, in underground worlds and in contact with the magnificent Sardinian nature. Suggestive villages for the workers, extraction wells, thousands of kilometers of tunnels, industrial plants, ancient railways, precious documentary archives and the memory of generations of miners make the Park a great new cultural deposit to discover.

Not just man-made works, but places where the grandeur of nature captures the visitor: the splendid cliffs, the limestone stacks overlooking the sea, the infinite expanses of gold-coloured sand, the "magical" karst cavities, the wild populated forests from a great variety of animal species in the incomparable blue setting of the Sardinian sea.

The visitable sites of industrial archaeology, of scientific and technological interest, the mining tunnels and research centres, documentation and cultural activities, modern museums and historic mining institutes, act as a corollary to the tourist and hiking routes that wind through the Mediterranean scrub and along suggestive coasts offering the opportunity to practice various sports disciplines from the coast to the center of the island.

Montevecchio is the ideal place from which to start discovering a wider territory, in which the territorial identity, marginal compared to the large tourist flows, offers moments of genuine experience of the tradition of nature and Sardinian culture.
