サンテル/サンヴェーロミリスの天然記念物・トップ20

Rough seas.

Nestled between the cliffs of Capo Mannu and the coast of su Pallosu, it owes its name to a natural sandstone barrier that is a few dozen meters from the shore and isolates it completely from the mistral waves, creating an authentic natural pool. Sa Mesa Longa, ‘the long table’, one of the pearls of the marine area of the Sinis peninsula, is located in Putzu Idu, in the territory of San Vero Milis, from which it is twenty kilometers away: it is a wonderful and very long beach, variegated and multicolored, between the yellow ochre of the fine and soft sand, the red-pink of the shoreline made of pebbles and shells and the black of the rocks that cut the beach in two that immerses itself in a sea that, depending on the light, offers all the shades of blue, with a sandy and shallow seabed.

Path between Santa Caterina di Pittinuri (south of the Rau Santa Caterina river) to the Belvedere viewpoint is no longer accessible Part 1. The hiking trail between Santa Caterina di Pittinuri and the Belvedere viewpoint is no longer usable due to nature conservation measures. The original trails are partially overgrown and the route has shifted to private property.

  Part 2. We wanted to climb the southern section of the coast from the Rau Santa Caterina river, but soon realised that the beach had been completely covered with round stones due to coastal protection measures. The climb was originally possible via a path, but later it was clearly marked as private. With great effort we were able to get onto the old, heavily overgrown thorn bushes off the path and continue upwards. There we were finally confronted with several barrier fences running across the path, weighted down with stones to keep them on the ground. This was a clear sign that this natural area is being protected. We accept that it is important to preserve sensitive natural areas, even if this means that we are denied the breathtaking views of the bay. More impressions of this section can be found in the attached pictures.
