Sardinia Sunflower Landscape Guide

Sardinia is the Sunflower Landscapes guide to exploring the best walking and touring possibilities on the island. The guide covers a range of routes including walks in Gallura, Supramonte, Barbagia, Marmilla, Costa del Sud, Iglesiente, Catena del Goceano and Nurra. A double-sided, fold-out touring map at the back of the book gives an overview of Sardinia, basic street plans of Cagliari and Sasari and the locations of each walk. Detailed information about touring by hired car or public transport, as well as on foot, is provided, helping walkers to navigate and plan day-trips. Shorter strolls are also included as an alternative for each main route for those seeking more leisurely days out.The guide is structured in two main parts ‘“ Touring and Walking ‘“ that explore each route with detailed references to public transport and car directions to make each walk more accessible. 6 Car-touring routes are included, covering Gallura and Anglona, Barbagia and Gennargentu, Marmilla and Sarcidano, Sulcis and Iglesiente, Sinis Peninsula, Monte Ferru and Lago Omodeo and Logudoro. Each describes a route by car with suggestions for stop-off places and things to see on the way, including any picnicking sites. 16 suggestions for the best picnic stops on the island are included at the start of the book and these are cross-referenced with the fold-out map and walk descriptions.The ‘˜Walking’™ section includes 22 recommended walks, many of which are circular tours. A detailed introduction provides information on how to get there, getting about, where to stay, climate, language, Nuragic culture and a geological overview. Each walk begins with information about distance, difficulty grading, waymarking, how to get there, suggested clothing and equipment, language hints and shorter and alternative routes to the main walk. Colour photographs and individually adapted map extracts accompany each route.
