Lago Mulargia, Orroli
Sardinia
The Mulargia dam holds a long branching lake in the gently rolling Sarcidano, its banks a mix of oak scrub, pasture and pinkish granite. Farm and forestry tracks follow the shore; the huge red-basalt Nuraghe Arrubiu — the biggest in Sardinia — and the Su Motti holm-oak wood are a short drive away.
