Embark on the Santa Teresa and Capo Testa Loop for a road cycling adventure through dramatic coastal scenery. This moderate route spans 21.5 miles (34.5 km) and includes an elevation gain of 1245 feet (380 metres), offering expansive sea views and unique granite formations sculpted by the elements. You can expect to complete this ride in about 1 hour and 35 minutes, enjoying the open road as you pass notable landmarks like the Capo Testa lighthouse.
When planning your ride, you will find parking generally available in Santa Teresa Gallura, which serves as a convenient starting point. The route features largely paved surfaces, making it ideal for racebike enthusiasts who prefer smooth roads. While some routes in the broader Capo Testa area might have short unpaved sections, this specific loop is designed to keep you on asphalt, ensuring a consistent road cycling experience.
This loop takes you through the Capo Testa – Punta Falcone Marine Protected Area, a region renowned for its distinctive geology. The landscape is characterized by ancient granite formations, shaped over millennia by wind and sea, creating a truly unique environment. Keep an eye out for the mystical Valle della Luna, and on clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of the French coast of Corsica across the Strait of Bonifacio.
