The yellow door that opens to then admire a natural picture will be there again this time. A breathless image, a natural photographic set where for years now many have not given up on selfies and then post them on social networks. The swing where you can swing while breathing in the scent of lavender is a must.
In Riola Sardo, the traditional harvest of the purple plant will begin in a few days in the huge field that Elvio Sulas from Riola, the son of local farmers, decided to plant twenty years ago in his own vineyard. Certainly not imagining that after years that would become the Sardinian Provence appreciated by many tourists and beyond.
Appointment in Riola Sardo for the first and second of July. Anyone will be able to witness firsthand the delicate process of cutting and picking flowers. From 9 to 12.30. A precision work by expert hands who, as always, will select the finest flowers, a fixed appointment which for years has been becoming one of the most requested tourist attractions on the island. Also last year, many people from all over the world came to Riola Sardo, including from Russia and India. Admission will be free and free. All pets on a leash are also allowed.
No reservation is required to participate. The camp is totally flat and has no architectural barriers, which is why people in wheelchairs can also reach it. The Sulas family will be present to explain everything that is produced from this plant. From essential oil to honey, from cosmetics to soaps. This time those present will be able to taste the lavender ice cream: a novelty of the 2023 edition. Last year the camp hosted around 3 thousand people. A success that increases year after year also thanks to social networks where photos of that enormous purple expanse are posted. A not indifferent glance.
