Plunge into and embrace the wild and romantic beauty of South Western Sardinia, through areas of scented Mediterranean maquis, coastal mountains, abandoned mines and long empty beaches: all to be visited at your own pace. The area is fairly hilly providing moderate to difficult cycling in places but then you are rewarded with some very dramatic views and opportunities to explore highlands, lowlands, coastlands and islands.
The route is very quiet - far removed from the busy resorts of the north east and even then you will largely be pedaling on secondary roads. The terrain is rugged in parts, with high cliffs ascending from the coast, interspersed with long white sand beaches, grass covered dunes and of course breathtaking panoramas embracing the coast and seaside blues. Two days contain quite hard and hilly cycling, but the prevailing wind blows from the North West, which is in the right direction for cycling although, of course it will not always be on your back!
