<p>In <a href="http://novebi.ning.com/group/kalymnos" target="_blank">Kalymnos</a> there is not so much deep water soloing.</p>

<p>In <a href="http://novebi.ning.com/groups/group/search?q=mallorca" target="_blank">Mallorca</a> crags are far from psicobloc, You need a car.</p>

<p>In Cala Luna You don't need a car, nor a scooter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You don't need to pay a studio, or a camping:</p>
<p>in Cala Luna, close to the restaurant, <strong>the camping is FREE</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2309678893?profile=original" target="_blank"><img width="700" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2309678893?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024"/></a></p>
<p><br/> <br/> So, first of all, try to understand the following WARNING:<br/> <br/> - even if to sleep inside the caves could seem better (but it's NOT because there are many RATS !), <span style="font-weight: bold;">please, sleep close to the restaurant, that has a toilet</span>, where You can take <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">free drinkable water</span>.<br/> The last cave is already a "toilet cave" ... but there is space for possible nice future lines !<br/> <br/> - please, don't make fires under the rocks, even if not bolted (You can <strong>bolt</strong> many new lines, please, <span style="font-weight: bold;">NO CHIPPING !</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>)<br/> <br/> - please, don't climb when tourists are down and watching You, invite them to move away: if just a little stone goes down to them, sea police could forbid climbing in all Cala Luna ! <br/> <br/> - bring back to Your car ALL Your garbage</p>
<p> </p>

<p><br/> <br/> Cala Luna is a big, fantastic beach, with a lot of tourists (and beautiful women ;-) in summer.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>- one (less than 2 hours) from from <a href="../../../../calafuilisportclimbing" target="_blank">Cala Fuili</a> (about 3/4 kms from Cala Gonone), that you can reach walking or hitchiking from Cala Gonone.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>driving from Dorgali, before Cala Gonone, take right and then left to Nuraghe Mannu.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2309679996?profile=original" target="_blank"><img width="700" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2309679996?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024"/></a></p>
<p>(<span style="font-style: italic;">The road to Buchi Arta</span>)<br/> <br/> Before the end of the road, You can see Cala Luna written in red on a stone, park Your car and go down the path.<br/> At the first cross, go right.<br/> After 30 mins walking down, take left, when You see the following crag (to <strong>bolt</strong>, please, <span style="font-weight: bold;">NO CHIPPING !</span>) at Your right:</p>

<p></p>
<p><br/> To reach Cala Luna (another 30 min), enter the following valley ("codula"):</p>

<p><br/> <br/> 10 minutes before reaching the beach, You can see at Your left a fantastic cave:<br/> there is just one bolted line, so, <strong>take Your drill with You</strong>, come on ! <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></p>
