The valley below, protected from the winds because it is set in the middle of a semicircle of green mountains, contains the rarest specimens of the maquis; at the slopes of Mount Gennargentu, on a plateau placed at an altitude of 850 metres, the hamlet of Villagrande rises, Villanova Strisaili, where you can enjoy the wonderful view of Flumendosa Lake: an expanse of green water where the highest tops are reflected and where you can fish the rare Sardinian trout. The abundance of spring waters has allowed the growth of many woods: Santa Barbara, Sa Pauli, M. Idolo, Sarominis, Nuradulu.
The establishment of the craft area of Su Biviu has revolutionized the economy of the village, once depending exclusively on sheep-breeding. In the past few years many different factories have been created: two ham factories, one cheese factory, one that markets long-life goat milk, various business that work iron and wood, a mink farm and a perrot farm.
