At the foot of the Monte Linas massif, the town of Gonnosfanadiga lies at the transition between the Medio Campidano plain and the first hills of southwestern Sardinia. The area preserves numerous archaeological remains, including nuraghi and Giants' Tombs, such as that of San Cosimo, among the largest on the island. The town, with a population of approximately 6,000, is closely linked to agriculture and craftsmanship: local knives, honey, wine, and oil are famous. Strolling through the town center, you'll notice the centuries-old wells that once served wayfarers and still serve as meeting points for the community. The town has shops, bars, and restaurants, and throughout the year, festivals dedicated to bread, olives, and oil are held.

On the Cuccur'e Zeppara hill, now incorporated into the town of Guspini, you can admire a spectacular wall of basalt prisms up to twenty meters high, perfectly arranged like organ pipes. The formation, created by the slow cooling of lava from an ancient volcanic cone, is considered one of the clearest in Italy and Europe. Declared a natural monument, the quarry can be visited via a short trail that allows for a close-up view of this rare geological feature, similar in shape to be seen only in Sicily, Veneto, Iceland, and a few other places in the world.

Montevecchio, also known as Gennas Serapis, is an ancient mining village now a hamlet of Guspini, nestled in the Geo-Mining Historical and Environmental Park of Sardinia. Founded in the 19th century as the administrative center of the lead and zinc mines, it was established here. The village is home to the Montevecchio Mine information point and the Gennas Food and Wine Confraternity, a trattoria offering excellent food in a friendly, family-friendly atmosphere. They are usually open on weekends, but we recommend contacting them to check opening times, make reservations, and arrange for service. The owner is very helpful and is happy to welcome hungry travelers.

The coffee is excellent

Suddenly you find yourself in front of a fenced-in property. We walked past it on the left. If you don't want to do that, you can cancel the tour.

Very small hamlet of Arbus, passing through towards Marceddì.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to continue right at the beginning, but it is a bit awkward to walk around it
