Bellissima esperienza! Raffaela e Bentu ci hanno accompagnato in una splendida passeggiata, che ci ha permesso di godere di splendide vedute di Cagliari e del golfo. Consigliatissima, non impegnativa e ottima per passare una mattinata alternativa!

Bellissima escursione da Calamosca alla Sella del diavolo. Ottima la guida di Arasolè che ha spiegato tutte le varie sfaccettature del panorama intorno inquadrandolo nei vari contesti storici senza appesantire le spiegazioni. Ottimo anche l'esposizione riguardo la flora. Sono stato molto bene con loro e spero di poter fare con loro altre escursioni. Bello veramente bello, bravissimi
