A fairly long stage that presents modest difficulties due to several uphill stretches and the last 5 km of sandy terrain.
You will observe the characteristic morphology of large boulders and tafoni that are typical of the granite rocks present in this area.
What strikes the most is the majesty of the Scivu-Piscinas dune complex, which suddenly appears after the pass with the lookout post of Capo Pecora.
It should be noted that a stretch of the Piscinas beach is used as a naturist beach.
WARNING: In case of strong winds or stormy seas, it is advisable to take the alternate route that avoids the beach and leads directly to the Posada di Pitzinurri.
If this is the end of your journey, please be aware that there is no public transportation from here; a transfer service is required for further travel.
