You start from the old fortifications and the appealing historic centre of Alghero. After the prehistoric bastion of Nuraghe Palmavera you get to Capo Caccia, an imposing rocky outcrop 168 m high, looking out over the sea.

The short leg meanders through the vineyards along the Malvasia wine route, with tasting of these famous DOC wines at the various caves. The long leg is a ring route round the area where the griffons nest, going up towards Montresta and passing by the nuraghe Appiu, as far as the spectacular rocky outcrops and inlets of Capo Marrargiu, where if you are lucky you’ll be able to see the swooping flight of this rare breed of Mediterranean vulture.
