28 Jul San Pantaleo – Gallura’s Traditions and Culture

San Pantaleo is a small town nestling in the granitic massif of Mount Cugnana, and it can be reached by car in less than 30 minutes from Olbia and Arzachena.. Like many other small towns of Gallura, its origins date back to the early 1800s, when the so-called stazzi and their specific culture developed. San Pantaleo is known in many different ways. It is called the ‘town of artists’ because many artists have their homes and boutiques here. The first impressive thing about this small town is its natural appearance.

It is also famous, and rightly so, for its original and extremely colourful market. Every Thursday from May to October, among the narrow alleys and the central square, you will find the best of Gallura’s agricultural production and many handmade creations, ceramics, wooden items, textiles, and so much more. Its exquisite natural surroundings and unique cultural and social characteristics make San Pantaleo a destination you cannot miss during your holidays in Gallura.
