Cycle along a spectacular road overlooking the sea, admiring the view of the Alghero gulf and Capo Caccia. The excitement continues when you see the pink, red, and gray rocks of Capo Marargiu, where the last specimens of griffon vultures fly. Sleep in Bosa, a medieval town dominated by the Malaspina castle and famous for its embroidery and gold filigree.

Day 4: Bosa – Santu Lussurgiu (55 km)
After visiting Bosa, you will venture inland and discover Flussio and Tinnura, where women still weave baskets from asphodel leaves as before. Cycling along a very suggestive road, cross Sagama to reach the source of St. Leonardo, an ideal place for a refreshing break.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
