This beautiful bike tour takes you through the wild and unspoiled coast of western Sardinia. Starting from Alghero, one of the nicest town in the island, you will have the chance to discover this land with its lush green pastures, its Mediterranean scents, and the caves carved from the rock. Pedalling along the turquoise with its stretches of savage coastline, its crescents of white sandy beaches and its majestic cliffs will be an unforgettable experience.
Arrival day
Transfer or independent arrival to our hotel in Alghero, where we get to know each other. Our guide will explain the route at the welcome meeting and delivers the bikes. Dinner and overnight.
1st day: Alghero - Bosa (42 km)
From Alghero, a splendid Catalan town on the Coral Riviera, we bike along a scenic road across the cliffs overlooking the sea and we admire the view of the gulf of Alghero and Capo Caccia. Emotions continue as we catch a glimpse of the pink, red and grey cliffs of Cape Marargiu, over which the last examples of griffin vultures circle. We sleep at Bosa, a medieval town famous for its fine embroidery and gold filigree works.
2nd day: Bosa - San Salvatore Sinis (58 km)
Today, we travel through the villages of Flussio and Tinnura, where, as in days gone by, the women still weave their wicker baskets. Next, it comes a fascinating panoramic ride down to the Sinis wetlands where you will see the famous pink flamingos. Finally, we reach one of the most beautiful spots on the island: the white quartz beach of Is Arutas. After the Phoenician ruins of Tharros, we go directly to our hotel at San Salvatore di Sinis.
3rd day: San Salvatore Sinis - Arbus (46 km)
We bike through the plains of Arborea to reach the natural beauty spots of the Costa Verde, where we admire some of the most savage sceneries of the island and, in particular, the beach called Piscinas with its sand dunes over 50 m high - the highest in Europe. Overnight in Arbus.
4th day: Arbus- Calasetta (54 km)
This stage takes us back into the ancient mining past of Sardinia, as we pass through the fascinating abandoned mines of Ingurtosu and Masua. After the charming bay of Cala Domestica and the looming mass of the Pan di Zucchero cliff, we reach the old ore washery at Nebida: nestling in the varied colours of the Mediterranean bush, it looks out over the sea and is reached by a long climb down 540 steps. Overnight in Calasetta.
5th day: Calasetta - S. Anna Arresi (43 km)
Today, we ride our bikes through the meadows of the Isle of Sant'Antioco. At Tratalias, we visit the Pisan sanctuary, one of the most important monuments of the Sardinian Romanesque period. Riding along the lake Monte Pranu, we savour the quiet peace of the rolling plains of the Sulcis. Overnight in Sant'Anna Arresi.
6th day: S.Anna Arresi - Pula (60 km)
Final catwalk of our tour is the panoramic south coast with its gleaming white beaches, unspoilt natural landscapes and imposing cliffs: Cape Malfatano with its 16th Century tower and Cape Spartivento. At Nora we admire the ancient Phoenician settlement. Overnight in Pula.
