Itinerary description
Beautiful and varied itinerary touching the three ancient watchtowers built by the Aragonese in the sixteenth century.: Columbargia Tower, Ischia Ruggia Tower and Foghe Tower. From Tresnuraghes you descend till the village of Porto Alabe by the sea, from the beach starts a beautiful single track that runs south along the cliff. Before reaching the Columbargia Tower you turn inwards through a forested area, you exit it on a high flat on 150m above sea level, which is left after a couple of chilometers to go down back to the sea in the Bay of Torolo dominated by Ischia Ruggia Tower, a short technical trail brings you under the Foghe Tower, overlooking the mouth of the Rio Mannu. From here you return to the country on the road to the San Marco countryside church, which run the community during the days dedicated to the celebration of the saint in April and September.

Hi Amphibius. I wanted to ask you if the route is very technical or if the trails, both uphill and downhill, are essentially cyclable. Thanks
