it Che dire, uni dei posti più belli di tutta la Sardegna, bisogna assolutamente andare a Tavolara una volta nella vita. Consiglio anche di salire fino alla cima più alta e ammirare la vista mozzafiato accanto alla madonnina installata sopra. Presenti due buoni ristoranti, è possibile anche fare delle discese in corda sulla parete sud, consigliatissime, fantastica esperienza.
