La Marmora Ore Washing Plant

Highlight • Historical Site

Overlooking the sea of Nebida, you will find the magnificent Lamarmora washery, built in 1897 for the treatment of lead and zinc. The structure is composed of four volumes that overlap and descend towards the coast, crossed by arches. On the sides, two ovens and two chimneys. Inside there were systems for the separation and classification of minerals, storage spaces, a steam engine and a furnace room. In the lower part, a warehouse and a marina for transport boats. The floor is in terracotta and the roof, which is absent today, was made of wood.

The mine experienced a flourishing period in the first half of the 20th century, interrupted only by the two world wars, with its peak in the 1930s. However, it declined with the great mining crisis of the seventies, leading Nebida to become depopulated.

Porto Corallo is a small inlet characterized by reddish pebbles that create a fascinating contrast with the green and turquoise of the sea. This isolated and peaceful place is accessible via a scenic trail. There are no amenities here, just the pristine beauty of nature.

Portu Ferru

Highlight • Beach

Portu Ferru is a small natural landing place where boats are beached. The reddish cliffs, which give it its name, create a fascinating contrast with the sea, which is reflected in the most beautiful shades of blue.

June 5, 2025,Nebida - Laveria Lamarmora – Porto Corallo Runde von Parcheggio Porto Cauli
A beautiful and varied hike through lush greenery and open coastal paths. Surefootedness is required, as is attention, especially when descending. There's a nice bar in the Parco Belvedere in Nebida. Bring plenty of water; the route is more challenging than you might think. There are plenty of swimming opportunities (also for cooling off) along the coast.

The Santa Barbara Mining Trail is about 500km long. We walked a small circular stage. Incredibly beautiful.
Worth noting: the African heat and the brambles that strip your skin.

If you are in the area this tour should be done. Don't forget your swimwear! There are always great views of the sea, mixed with the green of the plants and the often reddish brown rocks.
First you pass the small bay of Portu Banda. Then it goes over a small mountain until you get to the next bay with …

Drive to the west coast to Nebida. Started in the former mining town where iron ore used to be mined. First down to the ruins of the laundry.
Then always on the coast, partly below, partly above on dream paths to the Sugar Loaf, a rock in the sea. There in Masua you could finish off with a cappuccino in …
