About San Vito Lo Capo — Cala Mancina
The most scenic group of crags in San Vito Lo Capo — Cala Mancina sits at the north end of the Scogliera di Salinella, wrapped around a small Mediterranean bay with limestone pavements, wildflowers in spring, and every grade and climbing style within a short walk. The star feature is the Grotta di Cala Mancina cave, a steep overhang festooned with bullet-hard tufas, stalactites and cauliflower-shaped concretions — technical, athletic climbing on some of the best rock in the Mediterranean. The cave sector is climbable in rain thanks to its overhang shelter, and the mixed sectors give sun-or-shade options for any temperature.
