Trail Description


A local friend took me on a tour of the east side of the island. The first stage of the trip took us along the eastern shore line, first via a nice 4x4 track along a small dyke between a marsh and the sea where pelicans can be spotted before riding along the beach of Is Pruinis. Eventually the beaches turn into short sections of single trail and 4x4 tracks and then onto the Tarmac road heading into Maladroscia (mind cars here, especially in summer). After Maladrosciathe tour went inland for about two hundred metres then turning left into a semi-paved road. After some easy climbing a superb single track took us along the hills to the beach of Co'e Quaddus. Then some easy Tarmac cycling (mind cars again) towards Funtana Cannai where we took a right turn onto the main road of the island (cars again). After a climb and short descent there was another single track descending most of the way, before reaching the main road again. A short cycle further down the road we took a right turn back to the same beach of the start of the tour, backtracking to Sant'Antioco.
