Safety and useful tips
The route proceeds along comfortable and easy roads.
The first part of the route to leave Nuxis develops along asphalted urban and peri-urban roads, therefore you must pay attention to vehicular traffic.
Once you reach the village of Is Cosas, you have to follow the asphalted road along Via Camposanto in order to reach Santadi. Although this road is not very busy, you must pay attention to vehicular traffic that intensifies as you get closer to the town of Santadi.
