What other walkers say
Stage 21

Climb down: 873 m
This stage will lead you to barite quarries and several archaeological sites (Domus de janas of Su Cungiau de Tuttui, Nuraghi Moddizzi, Murrecci and Corongius Longus).
Lush vegetation with beautiful juniper trees covers the hills above the urban centre of Masainas.
You will have occasional glimpses of the landscape, where you can admire the sea in the distance.
The uphill slope that must be climbed at the start of the route to come up from the Is Zuddas caves (102 m above sea level) and reach the pass of Monte Moddizzi (374 m above sea level) is quite challenging.
Stage 22
Total Length: 19,4 km
Difficulty by Foot: Medium
Travel times: 6 hours and 30 minutes
Climb up: 333 m
Climb down: 370 m
This is one of the new stages of the Trail that goes from the plains of Lower Sulcis to the southern end of the south-western coast of Sardinia.
Fish ponds, white dunes and the beautiful Porto Pino beach add beauty to an itinerary in which there is no shortage of traces of the mines and evidence of the ancient history of this strip of Sardinia, with the Nuraghe Arresi dominating the town of Sant’Anna Arresi.
