October 23, 2023,Sardinien | La Costa delle Miniere: Masua - Cala Domestica - Buggerru

Very varied tour - please excuse the many photos - it would have to be reduced even further, but not today. It was very warm today for the end of October and swimming in the Mediterranean was very relaxing.

Beautiful ride today too! First the view of Pan di Zucchero, then the descent to Cala Domestica, from there you walk along the coast overlooking the sea to the village of Bugerru where there are supermarkets, a pharmacy, and a wonderful (full) posada 🌟
