December has been an incredible warm month here. I had never seen the sea like that and felt so hot.

Masua is a small mining town, now abandoned, in the south-westerly coast of Sardinia. Most of the mines were in the hills by the sea not far from this beach. The ore, after it was purified and ground, it was brought to this beach and loaded into small sailing boats which carried it to a nearby harbour where it was loaded into large cargo vessels. That rock visible in the distance it is called nowadays "Pan di Zucchero", which is a fantasy name given to advertise the place for tourists. In spite of the many mines and industrial plants still present the coast is very beautiful and much attended in summertime. CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO SEE IT BETTER

One of my favourite places for spending some time by the sea. We decided to go there the first of the year 2012 and it was a glorious day.
