Sardinia Motorcycle Tour – day to day

Day 1: We set off at 9am, like almost every day, and head north to explore the north east of Sardinia, the Emerald Coast. We shall explore the wonders of this amazing stretch of land and beaches, enjoy a very expensive coffee amongst the VIP crowd, view the marinas with amazing yachts before riding across the northern part of Sardinia, known as Gallura, to reach the wonderful town of Alghero and its Catalan cultural influences. They call Alghero “little Barcelona”. Our stay is in the heart of town. A walk along the bastions at sunset to reach our favourite aperitif stop before a delicious Sardinian meal tops the first of many amazing rides. 

Day 2: We say arrivederci to Alghero and head south along the magnificent Alghero-Bosa. The road offers a great ride along the coast and wonderful scenery. Once in Bosa we have coffee and admire the multi pastel coloured town. We then turn east and cut the rugged centre of Sardinia. We encounter an impressive Nuraghe by Abbasanta then cross the river Tirso and join the SS388. We go over two passes, Passo Tascusi and Passo Correboi before reaching our next double overnight stop by the sea in Arbatax. 

Day 3: We take a loop ride on the SS125, the “orientale sarda”. The pass is called Passo Ghenna Silana and it is really an amazing ride. At the top of the pass there’s a small coffee bar where all the bikers gather, have  a drink and buy a t-shirt. Lunch will be in the coastal town of Cala Gonone before riding the SS125 back to our hotel for a well earned swim in the crystal clear water. For the more enthusiastic we can also reach the town of Orgosolo, the town of bandits, famous for its murales. 

Day 4: We ride some more incredible twisty roads in the Sardinian interior heading south to Cagliari. First the superlative SS198 then we cut across the Flumendosa Valley to reach the SS125 and reach Cagliari for a 3 night stop. Yes 3 nights in the capital of Sardinia. 

Day 5: We head west and run swiftly to Guspini and here we start one of the best roads in Sardinia, the SS126 from Guspini to Iglesias. 50km of motorcycling nirvana. We reach Iglesias and then explore the coastal beaches of the west. Here is where Sardinia is hit hardest by the coastal winds sweeping on to the island all the way from Spain. This means white sandy beaches, but also some incredible cliffs and abandoned Zinc mines. We then return to Cagliari for our second night. 

Day 6: Another loop or a well earned rest day. The ride takes us to the the far southwesterly tip of Sardinia. We ride around the small island of Sant’Antioco and then enjoy the coastal road back to Cagliari via Pula. 

Day 7: It’s the final day of our tour. nevertheless it will not disappoint. The SS128 centrale sarda is impressive all the way to Nuoro. It’s a fairly long day so we’ll just be riding and viewing the scenery, having fun on the minor roads. At any point, if anyone is tired, they can jump on the SS131 express way and head back to Olbia. The fun from Nuoro continues on the SS389. Exhausted but happy the tour ends with another great dinner in Sardinia.
