Muravera, long white beaches


Muravera is the most important centre of Sarrabus-Gerrei and it's located along the Orientale Sarda main road.
It was ruled by the Pisans until 1324, and since then it was protected by the Carroz family, part of the county of Quirra, until 1839 when this kind of domain was abolished.
Inside the small town you can visit monuments of historical importance: the Late Gothic church of San Nicola (1400) and the Portico Petretto of the 19th Century.
On the coast stand the Torre dei Dieci Cavalli (The tower of the ten horses) of the 16th Century and Torre Salinas, erected in order to contrast Saracen attacks.

Not only sand and clear water in the marina of San Giovanni, but also a kiosk where you can freshen up after a beach-volley match, a pedal boat rental and the homonymous fish-pond, where dozens of different fish species are farmed and then can tasted in every restaurant of the zone Torre Salinas beach, wedged into rocks which separate it from Colostrai, is not far from the salina where beautiful pink floyds can find a natural oasis for some months every year.

 Colostrai dal 1989 è un’area protetta dove la pesca è permessa esclusivamente ad una cooperativa di pescatori, che ha salvaguardato nel tempo le specie più rare.

Moreover, Cristolaxedu and Colostrai, endless finest sand beaches surrounded by incontaminated nature and the expanse of water of Colostrai where cormorants, pink floys, herons and dabchicks can rest in the hottest months.
It has been a protected area since 1989 and only a fishermen's cooperative, which has safeguarded the rarest species, is allowed to fish. Costa Rei, half way between Muravera and Villasimius, is without any doubts the most known spot of Muravera. Muravera has a small but efficient hospital, all kinds of shops, an info-point and a local radio which plays the songs of the summer. During the summer we can count many feasts and festivals.
The pedestrain zone in the centre of the area, makes it possible for people to have a walk or go shopping in complete tranquillity
