The mining south-west in 3 days
Cliffs, huge dunes, mine tunnels and two islands with a history all their own. The wildest side of the south.
- D1
Iglesias and the Pan di Zucchero
The medieval centre of Iglesias, then the coast road to Masua and the Pan di Zucchero sea stack. An afternoon swim at Cala Domestica.
- D2
The dunes of Piscinas
The dirt road through the abandoned mines of Ingurtosu and Montevecchio leads to the dunes of Piscinas. Bring water and shade: there is almost nothing around, and that is the beauty of it.
- D3
The Sulcis islands
Sant'Antioco with its byssus museum, then the ferry to Carloforte and its colourful harbour. Alternatively, half a day among the white dunes of Porto Pino.
Tip. If the wind changes: with the Mistral the west coast is rough: swap the days and keep the islands for when the sea is calm.
