Il Cammino minerario di Santa Barbara

From the crystalline sea of Sant'Antioco to the dense forests of Marganai, from the white dunes of Piscinas to the spectacular caves of Is Zuddas, an unforgettable journey to discover south-western Sardinia, among evocative abandoned mines, tunnels overlooking the rocks, ghost villages and ancient railways that get lost in the woods. The devotional common thread is the cult of Saint Barbara, patron saint of miners, whose churches dot this splendid historical and naturalistic itinerary. A circular route that from Iglesias winds along the slopes and paths beaten by miners throughout 8,000 years of history, from the Neolithic to the twentieth century. Second edition updated with new variations and hospitality, all the useful information: when to leave, what to bring, maps, altitudes, differences in altitude, the description of the route, where to sleep, places to visit. And, also, the stories and testimonies of those who worked in the mine. Pozzo Sella, Piscinas, Monti Mannu, Dosmunovas, Santadi, Masainas, Sant'Antioco, Nebida.
