The Mining Trail of Saint Barbara

The guide-book The mining trail of Saint Barbara - On foot in Sardinia amongst history and nature describes a 500 km hiking route in the Sulcis-Iglesias-Guspini sardinian region.
From the crystal clear sea of Sant'Antioco to the lush Marganai forest, from the white fossil dunes of Piscinas to the spectacular Is Zuddas caves, this new english edition of this book will guides you through an unforgettable journey uncovering the south-west Sardinia; amongst alluring decommissioned mines, tunnels overlooking cliffs, ghost town and historical railways vanishing into forests.
The devotional common thread is the worship of Saint-Barbara, patron saint of miners, whose churches pepper this magnificent, ancient and natural itinerary.
