Montevecchio, also known as Gennas Serapis, is an ancient mining village now a hamlet of Guspini, nestled in the Geo-Mining Historical and Environmental Park of Sardinia. Founded in the 19th century as the administrative center of the lead and zinc mines, it was established here. The village is home to the Montevecchio Mine information point and the Gennas Food and Wine Confraternity, a trattoria offering excellent food in a friendly, family-friendly atmosphere. They are usually open on weekends, but we recommend contacting them to check opening times, make reservations, and arrange for service. The owner is very helpful and is happy to welcome hungry travelers.

Easy ride, one-third on dirt road, beautiful view of the San Giovanni pond and Mount Arcuentu on the opposite side, you reach the archaeological area of Neapolis from the dirt road.

Very deep beach made of fine sand. Tourist resort with basic services.

The road that runs along the Marceddì and San Giovanni lagoons is a marvel to cycle on. It is mostly flat with some slight slopes, and you can admire lake landscapes on one side (with flamingos!) and mountain landscapes on the other. If you don't want to pass through the Pistis/Torre dei Corsari valleys, this flat route is equally fascinating!

Once past the mine, a few bends further you reach Montevecchio. The town housed the apartments of the mine managers and the highest officials who ran the mine, as well as accommodation for workers, barracks, hospital and schools, a post office, a chemical laboratory, and even a football pitch for the local team. Today inhabited by a few hundred people, most of the time you will struggle to find even a handful of them. The sound of the wind will be your only travel companion.

worthy itinerary, it's a pity that the route indicated by the route is sometimes impracticable and therefore you have to change roads, for the return the cycle path from the arborea ends at a certain point in the middle of the reeds and you have to take the state road, which is very busy and dangerous.
