The "Open Portals – Local Flavors and Products" event returns to Simala. On Sunday, November 15th, the small town in the Marmilla region will open its historic center gates to visitors, aiming to enhance its value by combining knowledge and tastings of local products and flavors. Visitors will be able to discover the beauty of the traditional gateways for which Simala is famous (known as the "Town of Portals"): the oldest dates back to the mid-1800s, and the small town of 300 inhabitants currently boasts about 60.
The event is organized by the Municipality and the Pro Loco, but the entire Simalian community will be fully involved. "Portali Aperti," Mayor Gianmarco Atzei commented, "has now become the main tool for promoting our region. The experience we've gained over these seven years allows us to present a mature and comprehensive event, combining culture, food and wine, entertainment, and authentic experiences, guaranteeing services designed to allow every visitor to fully enjoy the event." The event will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will involve the entire historic center. Guided tours will be available, with various time slots dedicated to children, music (guests include Tumbarinos di Gavoi, Solo una sana e coscienza "Sugar Band," the Tenores di Neoneli, the Sardinian Chamber Orchestra, and DJ Poddie), and more. "This year's program," the mayor concludes, "will feature over 40 exhibitors, workshops, free guided tours, exhibitions, all-day musical events, the opening of private courtyards, and a children's area. All this will be complemented by a food and wine program that, like every year, will tell the story and showcase the history and excellence of our region."
