RP46 nice view of the ss292 winding down
Before we leave we refuel at RP5 because we have more than 300 kilometers to go. Via the SS125 we drive south to Bari Sardo. At RP9 we cross the river Pelau via a beautiful little arch bridge. From now on the road also starts to get more challenging with nice curves and occasional sharp hairpin bends. We continue the ride on the SP11, a beautiful road with beautiful panoramas, along this road there are a number of small parking places to stop briefly for a photo.
The first stop is a visit to the caves “Is Janas” at RP16, a legendary site with an enchanted cave of stalactites, stalagmites and rare wildlife hidden by a waterfall.
The next (longer) stop to visit the Su Stampu 'e su Turrunu at RP17. For this you can park on the right side of the road and take a short walk to visit. This little masterpiece of nature is a cave with waterfall and more. Su Stampu de su Turrunu is a unique hole carved in the Jurassic rock of the Tacchi, with characteristic steep reliefs, by the erosive action of water flowing into a small cave with a brook, su Longufresu, which then falls 16 meters into a pool and finally flows down into the valley below. Well worth the walk.
After this stop we drive again via a winding road to RP19, where we stop for a coffee in Gadoni, if you already fancy a lunch you can also continue to RP20 for a pizza.
From RP22 we drive around Lago di Gúsana, an artificial lake built in the 1930s to store water for an electricity generator (central to Coghinadordza), and it included an old Roman bridge and an ancient archaeological site of the Nuragici . It is now a tourist destination. At RP24 you can stop for a photo at the Punta Micheli Cugusi viewpoint.
At RP25 we drive into the town of Gavoi, this is definitely worth a break to stretch your legs and have a bite to eat. Gavoi has typical granite stone houses and narrow streets. Nice place to stop to stretch your legs.
We continue to Ottana, pay attention to RP29, where Here and TomTom deviate. Continue to follow the main road and continue to RP30 where we will stop for a museum visit to the MAT - Arts and Traditions Museum, which was established with the intention of protecting, enhancing and making available the tangible and intangible testimonies of the area through from a process that takes the visitor back in time to the history, rituals and traditions of an entire community.
We continue the ride via Dualchi and Macomer to Pozzomaggiore (RP38) where we stop for a drink in one of the many nice cafes. After this short stop we continue to Monteleone Rocca Doria where the more adventurous among us can visit Monteleone Rocca Doria Climb where you can climb rocks. Take the exit at RP41. Here is also the Belvedere and there is a beautiful view. The sandstone rock is higher than 40 meters and is characterized by a large number of large and small holds. To date, there are more than 60 levels for climbing, from easy 5a to very demanding 7c +, offering beginners and experts alike the opportunity to enjoy climbing.
We continue along the beautiful lake Lago del Temo to RP44 where we stop briefly to visit the Necropolis of Puttu Codinu; these tombs are carved out of the limestone rocks and are also some menhirs. At RP45 and 46 it is also worth stopping briefly for a photo and the beautiful panorama.
Via the boulevard of Alghero we drive to the campsite in Fertilia. This route is worth 5 ***** stars because of the beautiful winding roads and the sights.

Sardinia
About this region
Sardinia ( sar-DIN-ee-ə; Italian: Sardegna [sarˈdeɲɲa]) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after Sicily, and one of the 20 regions of Italy. It is located west of the Italian Peninsula, north of Tunisia and immediately south of the French island of Corsica.
It is one of the five Italian regions with some degree of domestic autonomy being granted by a special statute. Its official name is bilingual in Italian and Sardinian: Regione Autonoma della Sardegna / Regione Autònoma de Sardigna (English: "Autonomous Region of Sardinia"). It is divided into four provinces and a metropolitan city. The capital of the region of Sardinia — and its largest city — is Cagliari. Sardinia's indigenous language and Algherese Catalan are referred to by both the regional and national law as two of Italy's twelve linguistic minorities, albeit gravely endangered, while the regional law provides some measures to recognize and protect the aforementioned as well as the island's other minority languages (the Corsican-influenced Sassarese and Gallurese, and finally Tabarchino Ligurian).Due to the variety of Sardinia's ecosystems, which include mountains, woods, plains, stretches of largely uninhabited territory, streams, rocky coasts, and long sandy beaches, Sardinia has been metaphorically described as a micro-continent. In the modern era, many travelers and writers have extolled the beauty of its long-untouched landscapes, which retain vestiges of the Nuragic civilization.
