"Following the Capo Falcone sign from both Stintino and La Pelosa is very simple... We arrived at a repeater with two very high antennas after a small dirt road parked.
The path is very simple and full of
Mediterranean scrub. I did it in August around 8 pm to admire the sunset at 8:30 pm. We arrived just in time. It's really worth it"
