Si è celebrata anche quest’anno, il 26 luglio, la festa di Sant’Anna e Gioacchino, genitori della Madonna, ricorrenza molto sentita in tutta l’Ogliastra. A Tortolì, nella chiesetta dedicata alla Santa, si è svolta, alle ore 10, la cerimonia religiosa, con la Messa cantanta e le antiche lodi, dette “is goccius”. Intorno alla statua di Sant’Anna, tanti fiori bianchi e il basilico profumato, simbolo di questa festa, e la devozione delle mamme con i bambini, delle donne in attesa, delle nonne e di tanti fedeli, che da lei attendono qualche grazia.

La sera, alle 18,30, dalla stessa chiesetta, è partita la processione che si rinnova da qualche anno, con i carri infiorati trainati dai buoi, che seguivano il carro con la statua di Sant’Anna.I bambini con i costumi tradizionali sui carretti guidavano la processione verso la spiaggia di Orrì. Qui, è stata celebrata la S. Messa, con la partecipazione di tantissimi fedeli, in uno scenario magico di luci al tramonto sulla spiaggia e il mare. Il martedì 27 luglio la statua della Santa è ritornata nella chiesetta di Tortolì.

San Teodoro, Southern borough of Gallura overlooking the turquoise sea of the north-eastern coast of Sardegna, boasts some of the most beautiful beaches of the island: Cala Brandinchi, La Cinta, Lu Impostu, just to name a few. Even in the fun, San Teodoro is enchanting. Here, when the sun sets, the streets and squares are filled with tourists and visitors of all ages. The offer of bars is very wide: bars with an informal atmosphere, refined cocktail bars with an innovative concept, discos, traditional breweries and modern pubs.

Cala Brandinchi

And after spending the day in one of the pristine seaside havens of the coast, to end the evening with a 5-star drink in one of the most popular bars, we take you to the “Bollicine”, a historic cocktail bar where you can live the night under the Theodorian stars.

Since 2011 Bollicine has been a reference point of the nightlife in San Teodoro: to participate in the very popular evenings many arrive from all over the north of Sardinia and as many are the regulars and tourists. In a modern environment, tender bars offer a detailed and extensive drink list: from local wines such as Vermentini galluresi to bubbles of Sardinia, from Franciacorta to Valdobbiadene to a wide selection of the best champagnes.

Moscow Canapa

Led by the barman we ordered Moscow Canapa, one of the top cocktails of the premium drink list: from a spectacular smoke under a glass bell, here is a mule from the classic preparation but with vodka flavored with hemp.

The weekend, in the cocktail bar of San Teodoro, begins with the feast of Thursday. The “Giovediamoci” is an event that goes on successfully for over ten seasons: only Italian music, from the great domestic hits to the contemporaneity of hip hop and trap made in Italy.

San Teodoro never sleeps and in addition to the beauty of its beaches, offers many ideas to live the night: “Bubbles” is certainly the right choice to frame a day of sun and sea and conclude it with the fragrance and taste of a signature cocktail.
