Sardinia

From Cagliari to Gallura, from head Teulada to Asinara, from Ogliastra to head Carbonara, from Sant’Antioco to Maddalena, the passionate tale of an island with a fantastic ‘biodiversity’ and with a heritage of beaches perhaps unique in the world, mapped each in its morphological peculiarities and tourist welcome. Over thirty coastal routes and in the hinterland through ponds and taphons, stazzi and crude, myrtle and lentisk, nursery and scirocco, nuragic plots and industrial archaeologists. Among the many gems of this new edition: the Sardinia of jazz and the small villages forgotten in the Percorsi d'autore by Sebastiano Dessanay, composer and smuggler, who crossed by bicycle all the 377 municipalities of the island; a flamingo by friend: birdwatching in the ponds of Cagliari, before a dip at the Poetto; Nebida, Masua, Buggerru: geominerari trekking in Sulcis Iglesiente; Wild Blue, adventures in tent in the Mediterranean wilderness (with bath in the bays of the Gulf of Orosei); trip on the road on the panoramic Alghero-Bosa, where the grifoni osano; the agro-pastoral civilization and the dilemmas of contemporary man in the Sardinian narrative selected by Massimo Onofri, critic, writer and professor of Literature at the University of Sassari; the song of the servant shepherd: Myrtles, cork and wild boars in the magical Gallura loved by Fabrizio de Andrè.
