About Teulada
On the edge of the breathtaking coastal stretch of Costa del Sud, you’ll find the charming village of Teulada, in south Sardinia. The landscape of this area lies mostly untouched, giving Teulada a distinctly wild and natural feel. In addition to the stunning natural beauty of this place, tradition is still strongly a part of life in this small Sardinian village, with festivals, parades and major religious events occurring year round. It is not uncommon to see men walking Teulada’s narrow streets wearing their traditional dress or women practicing their famous embroidery craft outside small shops. The most popular time to travel to the Costa del Sud region is within the months of June and July. Teulada and its nearby villages are teeming with life at these times, and advanced planning when it comes to accommodations and activities is necessary. Although August is typically more subdued than the previous summer months, a host of local events tends to draw crowds. There is the celebration of the feast day of Sant’Isidoro, the Patron Saint of Farmers, where villagers from all around the island, dressed in their traditional costumes, parade a statue of the saint around the town’s streets. Also in August, and not to be missed, is the Bread and Cheese Festival where the women of the village spend days preparing the bread and cheeses and eager visitors wait for a taste.
