Sardinia has got many subregions, like Gallura. Today you visit another one, Logudoro, which features very different views, environment and food traditions. You'll have officially left Gallura after a super long, low gradient, descent that takes you to the spectacular Coghinas lake. Lakes - so frequent in northern countries, are little present in the Mediterranean regions. So they're gold to us. But Coghinas, a medium sized lake in the middle of nowhere and immersed in the Mediterranean vegetation, is really - absolutely - lovely and so is the little bridge that takes you on the west side of that. Some more kilometers and you'll be in Oschiri. A food stop in the church square makes for a perfect Mediterranean experience. From that very point, you start collecting, one after the other - all the elevation meters of this stage. You'll be crossing the lonely mountains of the Logudoro region up to Pattada. The name of this town, not only on Sardinia, is synonymous of handicraft knives and the workshops are everywhere. A visit, and - why not? - the purchase of a souvenir will allow to visit one of these knives makers and watch their stunning creations made of iron and deer horn. Accommodation in Pattada in a 3-star hotel with breakfast.
