Transformed, for over two decades (1967-90), into a 'spaghetti western' film set... #tuttitaly
Along the road leading to the beaches of Are Arutas and Maimoni is a very suggestive village called San Salvatore di Sinis. Inside, many Western films have been shot for almost two decades because it recalls the landscapes between Arizona and Mexico in the 1800s.
This took its name from the church of the same name located in the center of the town, in the basement of which there is an ancient pagan sanctuary of Nuragic origin centered on the cult of water. Some famous legends say that it has special miraculous powers.
In addition to the Saloon-style bar at the village entrance, tiny rural houses called "cumbias" were built towards the
end of the seventeenth century. These are inhabited by the owners only in the summer or during the novenas.
The feast of San Salvatore is celebrated on Saturday and the first Sunday of September. The celebrations begin nine days before and end with the festivities on the last day when the statue of the Saint is taken back from the village to Cabras with a spectacular walking procession. This site is also called the barefoot race.
