Remote, sparsely inhabited with long golden sandy beaches and stunning mountains, La Costa Verde is the perfect setting for this week long walking holiday. Amongst stunning Mediterranean scenery you walk at your own pace along picturesque wooded trails and remote mountain passes, with the sea always glistening in the distance. Walking through remote mining villages and along rugged coastlines, surrounded by emerald blue seas, two walks finish at the beach, so don’t forget to pack your swimwear for the post walk dip! 

Our base for the first part of the week, nestling in the peaceful foothills of the Sulcis Mountains in the south west of the island, is a family-run ‘Agriturismo’ farm, producing wine, organic vegetables, cured meats and mouth watering home made pasta. From here we take a few days to explore the mining region following a network of ancient mining paths that link these old mining villages.
 
Moving to the coast mid-point, your accommodation is a charming residence. With sun terraces overlooking uninterrupted coastal and hill views, and yet only a short from the magnificent sand dunes of Piscinas, one of the biggest in Europe that stretches for several kilometres along the Costa Verde. Coated in juniper and Mediterranean scrub, the dunes reach heights of up to 50 metres in places.

Ghostly towns and ruins will surround you on your walk to the next accommodation. Heading up stream and leaving behind derelict buildings and mining materials, the landscape opens up to granite boulders and the summit of Mt Linas ahead of you. For your final day walk, the scenery yet changes again. Taking a well beaten track past a goat farm and into the lower slopes of Mt Linas, you reach the sleepy village of Fluminimaggiore. Here the coast is again enchanting, an ideal location for your rest day.
