Having the good fortune to live closed to the Regional Park Molentargius - Saline (CA), I decided to start this journey from my home. Armed with my MTB, a bottle of water and the desire to explore the park, I went out to start the march!

It is quite easy to enter the park and not get lost indeed: paths and trails are numerous, there are many facilities for children and for the Bird Watching. Moreover, most of the trails lead directly to the sea (to the beach of Poetto, one of best in Italy!).

As a lover of hiking, you cannot miss all the bike tours offered by the landscape, in fact I am a frequent visitor. Everyone should come to this park at least once in his life!
