Sardinia is usually associated with sea, holidays, sun, and beaches while it’s also a wonderful region for hiking around its hills and wild inland. About the 13% of the island is composed by “mountains”, while hills and countryside are crossed by paths in an uncontaminated nature.
A sovereign nature that invites hikers to silence in order to enjoy this atmosphere.
