Crowd at the 48th edition of the Muravera Citrus Festival .

Today the first tourists also arrived in the capital of Sarrabus, as well as thousands of vacationers from different parts of Sardinia.

"Sa festa" was held for the first time at the end of May : in the past, always in April.

However, the oranges were there despite the late season.

Great spectacle offered by the etnotraccas , split from the peasant road, arriving from different parts of the Sarrabus.

A track came from Settimo San Pietro and pulled by a splendid yoke of oxen. A separate show was offered by the Mamuthones, the Boes and Merdules of Ottana and other typical Sardinian masks.

The great parade was opened by the Giuseppe Verdi musical band from Muravera.

The party is back after two years of hiatus due to Covid , during which time   it had been replaced by "Balconies in bloom".

The festival was also characterized by a conference on citrus fruits, visits to city museums and other initiatives wanted by the Municipality and the Committee for the party.
