Walking the stage
One of the toughest stages for its climbs, this walk covers about 19 km from Masua to Buggerru along the coast. It passes the fossil bearing rocks of Canal Grande, the old mining railway and loading plant at Cala Domestica, and the excavation at Planu Sartu.
On arrival in Buggerru, consider a stop at Reservoir, close to the finish.
