Programm
1st day - arrival
Transfer or individual arrival at Alghero, meet up for a briefing on the route, handover of bicycles and info pack.
2nd day: Alghero loop (54 km)
Your tour starts with a visit by bike to the old fortifications and the appealing historic centre of Alghero, a splendid Aragonese city. Leaving Alghero, we come to the prehistoric bastion of Nuraghe Palmavera. Then on to Capo Caccia, an imposing rocky outcrop 168 m high, looking out over the sea and then to lake Baratz, the only natural lake in Sardinia where you can visit the Environmental Education Experience Centre. Back to Alghero through countryside covered with vineyards and olive groves, producing world renowned oil and wines.
3rd day: Alghero - Bosa (44 km)
Today you will cycle along the amazing panoramic coastal road from Alghero to Bosa, one of the most beautiful ones in Sardinia. Bosa is a charming town with castle ruins and a medioeval center, the region is also known for its delicious Malvasia wine.
4th day: Bosa loop (26/62 km)
The short leg meanders through the vineyards along the Malvasia wine route, with tasting of these famous DOC wines at the various caves. The long leg is a ring route round the area where the griffons nest, going up towards Montresta and passing by the nuraghe Appiu, as far as the spectacular rocky outcrops and inlets of Capo Marrargiu, where if you are lucky you’ll be able to see the swooping flight of this rare breed of Mediterranean vulture.
If you’d rather take a break, you can spend the day discovering Bosa: the fascinating Malaspina Castle, the Medieval quarter with its pastel-coloured houses with red trachyte decorations, small goldsmiths’ shops and charming beaches.
5th day: Bosa – Santu Lussurgiu (55 km)
Today’s route is flanked by vineyards and olive groves as far as Flussio and Tinnura, two small towns famous for their reed and wicker baskets and for their murales (wall paintings). Then on through the pasturelands of Sagama, with Mediterranean brush landscape stretching as far as the eye can see, until you reach the springs of San Leonardo, the area richest in water of the whole of Sardinia. At Santu Lussurgiu a well-deserved rest at a charming diffuse hotel, consisting of several tastefully restored old houses.
6th day: Santa Caterina loop (55 km)
Today’s route will lead you to the Sanctuary of Santa Cristina, one of the most representative, best preserved and mysterious nuragic well temple in Sardinia. The sacred nuragic area is built on a basalt plateau in the territory of the nearby town of Paulilatino and the name derives from the adjacent rural church of Santa Cristina.
After a stroll around you will return to Santu Lussurgiu for the night.
7th day: Santu Lussurgiu – Cabras (55 km)
Today you will discover the splendid natural scenery of the Montiferru, a ‘slow-food’ area famous for its much appreciated Sardinian-Modican cows and its typical casizzolu, a stretched curd cheese. The land slopes down to the sea, bringing us to the Marine Protected Area of the Sinis, home to pink flamingo and herons. Here we take a dirt track flanking a series of white quartz beaches. Then on through a charming fishermen’s hamlet, where you will find one of the most important Early Christian churches in Sardinia, and continue to Tharros, a fascinating archaeological site on the sea shore, with a wealth of Phoenician and Roman remains. The tour ends at Cabras
