The area has been populated since the prehistoric period. Four dolmens from the Prenuragic era were found in the immediate surroundings of the residential area: they date back to the period between 3500 and 2700 B.C. The foundations of the local economy lie in farming and craftsmanship, with a focus on cork and granite manufacturing and Vermentino and Nebbiolo production. The area of Luras is home to thousand-year-old wild olives on the shores of Lake Liscia: this natural wonder is skirted by the Trenino Verde railway line, which also stops in Luras.

Trenino Verde, natural itineraries, and Gallura’s traditions.
During a weekend in June, the ‘Domos Abbeltas’ festival is held in town: several homes and winemakers open their doors to tourists, each of them offering a different typical dish or handmade product. Other summer events are the seadas festival and the Luras-style soup festival. During the Christmas season, we recommend visiting the nativity scene set up every year in the church of San Pietro, featuring religious figures wearing traditional garments. A tour aboard the Trenino Verde provides the ideal solution to explore Gallura’s hinterland.
