North Sardinia is often identified with Costa Smeralda. This is wrong. In fact the touristic development of Costa Smeralda - the billionaire's paradise - added a totally new and non typical layer of hotels, services and businesses to northeast of Sardinia. While the Gallura area - the region that surrounds Costa Smeralda - is still very authentic and has preserved its old economy and traditions. For this reason, we find interesting to discover both faces of north Sardinia, the contemporary and turisty one as well as the ancient and traditional one.
The trip philosophy is, in fact, to give an insight of the lovely Costa Smeralda, but also giving our guests the opportunity to visit a inner part of the island rich in traditions, excellent typical food and wine, lovely hospitality and of course great cycling in the wild inner hills of northern Sardinia.
Stages are between 60 and 80km and we've included a loop around Aggius, a lovely and typical little village, with a special kind of accommodation.
We will guide you across this Sardinian region on a trip that - as for SardiniaCycling tradition - will put in connection special, significant places through lovely roads.
And in those special places we wish you to experience the very local food, wine and hospitality.
