WHEN WE SAY TOUR, today we all too often think of land and sea excursions (boat tours, dinghy tours, etc.). But this is a modern use of the term TOUR. For a long time, however, its international meaning was ‘cultural-tourist journey’.
In fact, the name TOUR became famous in connection with the so-called ‘Grand Tour’, a cultural practice among young European aristocrats, particularly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, which consisted of an educational journey across Europe, lasting several months or even a few years, with the aim of learning about the art, culture and history of the countries visited.
Thus it was that many English, French and German intellectuals also took to travelling in Sardinia, not only to discover its extraordinary geomorphology and magnificent landscapes, but also to come into contact with its inhabitants, get to know their customs and traditions, and narrate the fruits of their travels.
THIS SITE GALLURA TOUR, WITH ITS CULTURAL TOURISM ACTIVITY, THUS RECOVERS THE FIRST AND DEEPEST SENSE OF THE TRUE ORIGINAL TOUR.
