아리오라/리올라 사르도 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

We were here at the end of September/beginning of October 2025. It was absolutely beautiful. Not much going on, and the seaweed was manageable in the morning and afternoon. Thanks to the wind, there were lots of water sports enthusiasts in the evening.

Unfortunately, this section is impossible to complete while riding a touring bike. Therefore, it's more of a mountain bike highlight than a cycling highlight.

Great view

A thin, curved strip of very fine quartz grains, almost two kilometres long, separates the turquoise sea from the Sa Salina Manna pond. It is the splendid beach of Putzu Idu, called ‘cala Saline’ and sheltered from the mistral, which extends north of the magnificent s’Arena Scoada and reaches the beach of Mandriola. The quartz sand is white and soft. The waters offer, with the changing light, suggestive shades from green to blue. The sandy seabed is shallow for dozens of metres.

The Torre di Capo Mannu stands on a rocky promontory, offering a spectacular view of the sea and the surrounding coast. Built in the 16th century as part of the defense system against pirate raids, it is surrounded by a landscape characterized by cliffs, crystal clear waters and typical Mediterranean vegetation.

One of my favorite places

fine white Caribbean sand... lots of seaweed in some places

This path runs along the Sinis coast between the territories of Cabras and San Vero Milis. The route is easy, with a terrain of earth, sand and rocks. The sea views are breathtaking.
