The aim of this itinerary is to take vacationers on a tour that reveals aspects of an important part of Orosei‘s commercial fabric, namely the marble quarrying sector, one of the most important hubs in Sardinia, Italy and the world.
Riding the bike, we visit the Gulunie Quarries compartment, located on a hill overlooking the Gulf of Orosei, and then continue and descend on a dirt road back to the sea, crossing an area of very high environmental value and community interest: Osala.

Technical description:
After leaving the built-up area of Orosei (NU), we follow some dirt roads that lead to the highest point of the route, where the marble quarry mining area is planned to be crossed.
Therefore, one travels for a few kilometers along the S.S.125 Orientale Sarda toward Dorgali, abandoning it to descend by dirt road toward the coastal strip of the Gulf of Orosei. Cycling along the coast, after crossing the beaches of Osala and Su Barone, we arrive at Marina di Orosei and the mouth of the Cedrino River. Skirting its right bank, we shortly return to Orosei.
