Episode Details

I venture with my namesake Cristina Marras along the Mining Trail of St Barbara, across the Sulcis mining area of Sardinia, gruelling isolated goat trails swept by the ubiquitous mistral wind, but also breath-taking glimpses of views and beaches with water so crystalline that it always reminds me of stained-glass windows in churches. And suddenly the smell of naphtha, motor oil, takes me back to my childhood.

See some of the pictures taken during the trip.

Thank you Cristina for being such a great adventure companion.
Thank you Giampiero Pinna and thank you to the Fondazione Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara for your support.

I invite you all to take a look at the Cammino. It's great beyond what I'll be ever able to convey.
