San Gavino Monreale is easily reached for its strategic position along the SS 131, or directly by train. The village is interesting for fans of rural architecture and for anyone looking for the ancient flavours of a lost gastronomy. The village is also an interesting destination for anyone interested in industrial archaeology. The two foundries, which are both in total disuse, attract large numbers of visitors who wish to admire the style and the architectural industry of the beginning of the last century, The "Sa Moba Sarda" Museum can be visited in the historic centre of the village. The museum houses a number of photos, objects and tools which try to narrate the agricultural culture which has characterised the centre since the twenties, when the process of industrialisation began. The communal theatre is often the scene of numerous plays, sometimes of national importance. The famous San Gavino Carnival must be mentioned, which every year attracts more than 50.000 people between masks and the public, because of its fame and the particular festive air that reigns supreme. Another particular event of significant importance is the 'International Saffron Fair' held in the month of November. Every year the event takes place over 10 days and attracts thousands of visitors and scholars attracted by the particular effects of this precious spice. During the Fair, the visitors can taste the delicacies prepared with Saffron and also buy the spice from the various stands. As regards religious events, the most important are the Feast of the Patron Saint San Gavino and the Feasts of Santa Chiara, Santa Teresa and Santa Lucia, which unite religious and civil celebrations. The typical cuisine offers soups, meat, vegetables, tasty bread made with bran and exquisite dry sweets and cakes.
