Genuri

Genuri stands on the foot of the Giara of Gesturi. It is a small rural hamlet surrounded by corn and legumes fields and by many olive groves, whereby a particularly fine oil is extracted.

Many archaeological remains prove that Genuri territory was inhabited since the Nuraghic epoch. Among these remains, there is St. Mark’s nuragh.

Genuri dwellers still maintain a strong bond with tradition, as it is shown by the various events organized in the course of the year, like St. Mark’s feast (the 15^th of April), the fest of St. Mary of Monserrato “Sa Munzerrada” (the 7^th and the 8^th of September). The most important feast is the one of St. Dorino, which takes place the 6^th of August along with the characteristic traditional small donkey-race and the festival of “Pani e casu e binu a rasu” (which means: “bread, cheese and a glass full of wine”), whereas it is possible to taste territory gastronomic specialities, almonds sweets, macaroons (amarettus), gattòu, and pani ‘e saba, that is a sweet kneaded with typical Sardinian cooked must.
