Once in Masua, along the coast you will be amazed to see a huge sea stack in the middle of the sea, it is the "Pan di Zucchero", name due to the very clear color of the rock of which it is composed. We recommend a guided tour of Porto Flavia, a mine overlooking the sea that will leave you speechless. After a quick lunch, reach Portu Maga for the night. But the surprises of the day are not over yet because you are within walking distance of Piscinas, the largest natural desert in Europe.

Once you arrive in Alghero you will have a breathtaking aperitif at the Riservato Beach Bar.
