The Padiglioni are 4 rocks of steep granit separated by channels where circulate occasionally strong currents. Rocks provide shelter from the N winds and Sirocco, if they are not too strong.
It is a renowned diving site.

Le Padiglioni sont 4 parois de granite assez raides séparées par des canaux où circulent parfois de forts courants. Les roches offrent un abri discret des vents du N et du Sirocco, si ils ne sont pas trop forts.
C'est un site de plongée réputé.

I Padiglionu sono quattro faraglioni granitici, dalle pareti abbastanza scoscese e movimentate, separati da canali a volte percorsi da correnti considerevoli.
Le rocce offrono un discreto riparo dai venti da nord ma anche dallo scirocco, se non particolarmente sostenuto.
Spartivento cape is at about 5 km SW of Chia. The granite promontory is 66 m above sea level.
Passing the fort you should be wary of two shoals covered with 3.5 m and 11.5 m near the E.
E cape is the beautiful beach of Portu Simoni Gibudda, call cala Cipolla. W are the rocks ...
Cala Cipolla is just S of Chia bay and before Spartivento cape. An islet separated from the mainland by a narrow isthmus is an ideal base to anchor, even for the night.
It is well protected from the winds (NW and E) and offers good anchorage by 4/5 m.
Cala Perda Longa is E Malfatano gulf. It has the same name of the village that overlooks the cove.We can anchor, but you must remain at the entrance of the cove (10 m) because, to the beach, the funds raise quickly.
