Road with a steep climb towards the Littu pass

A beautifully designed and monumental cross with the larger-than-life body of the crucified Christ crowns Monte Tuttavista. However, Italy's most famous crucifix is not found on the mountaintops, but in literature: The author Giovanni Guareschi, spiritual father of the protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone,' incorporated another main character into his stories – known and loved far beyond the country's borders: the crucified Christ, who speaks to Don Camillo from the high altar. The author himself makes the following comment: "So one must explain: If the priests feel offended by Don Camillo, they can smash a candlestick on my skull for all I care; if the communists feel offended by Peppone, they can break a club on my back; but if someone feels offended by Christ's speeches, there's nothing one can do. Whoever speaks in my stories... is my Christ, that is, the voice of my conscience. My personal business, my cause. And therefore: each for himself, and God for all." (G. Guareschi)

On the path to Osalla Beach, turn left before the pier (stay on the beach side). The path from Osalla Beach to Cala Cateou is barely accessible along the sea and requires climbing skills – unsuitable for children and dogs. The path down to Cala Cateou (after the climb and the turnoff from the main road) has a few steep, rocky sections – sturdy footwear is essential here and not recommended for inexperienced hikers.
