Stage 21

Difficulty by Foot: Medium

Travel times: 6 hours and 30 minutes

Climb up: 233 m

Climb down: 270 m

From the Basso Sulcis plain to the southernmost tip of Sardinia’s southwestern coast.

The fish-rich lagoons, white dunes, and the wonderful beach of Porto Pino add beauty to our itinerary. Along the initial stretch, traces of the mines and evidence of the ancient history of this corner of Sardinia are not lacking, with the Nuraghe Nuraxi Mesu at the starting point and the Nuraghe Arresi overlooking the town of Sant’Anna Arresi.

Stage 22

Total Length: 24,2 km

Difficulty by Foot: Hard

Travel times: 8 hours

Climb up: 250 m

Climb down: 252 m

You will walk along the cliffs of Porto Pinetto and Portu Su Trigu while admiring once again the beautiful landscape with a constant view of the gulf of Palmas to the west.

The large expanses of Vermentino and Carignano vines are also characteristic of the first part of the route, until you enter the dune complex behind the Sa Salina and the Porto Botte beaches, from which you reach the plain with countryside landscapes that brings you to Tratalias.

It is a demanding stage due to its length, but very easy to walk.
