Back to the islands: Provincia di Sassari, still surprising

 It was written (somehow) to start and end bothjourneys to Sardinia in Provincia di Sassari, more exactly, in Alghero.

While I didn’t feel any real connection to thiscity (then and now), I had beautiful memories from neighbouring Fertilia, where I needed to stop andshow Marcel around. We then drove to Tramariglio Beach, close to where Ihad my sea kayaking start/end point back in 2015. This time around, we satwatching the sea, bidding Sardinia farewell.

 

Now that I told you how it all ended, I shouldalso explain what happened until it did.

 

Even in the rain, a great spot for flamingo-watchingis Stagno di Olbia; for us, it was a wonderful pinkish surprise!

While in Olbia,head to I Nanetti Di Casula Domenica. The owner is a fantastic and kindwoman! The food tastes homemade. I’ve had one of the best pizzas of my lifehere; the seadas are extraordinary!

 

One of the prettiest towns in Sardinia is Santa Teresa Gallura to me! It is verywalkable, you can find shops (even souvenir shops!) and restaurants openoff-season, too, and it is the starting point of your journey to Corsica.

 

Another pretty town is the colourful Castelsardo. I had spotted it on thebus from Sassari to Santa Teresa Gallura 8 years before. Wishes come true,though, and I ended up walking around it. La Paninoteca „da Federigo” isa terrific place for dinner, home to the best crema catalana that I had ever eaten up to that point. I toldMarcel: ’It is even tastier than mine’. J Rememberthat you get the best view of Castelsardo as you drive from Lu Bagnu.

 

Speaking of LuBagnu, it is a very peaceful and traditional village, where you can easilyfind accommodation if travelling in the area. I was also happy to find the wildstrawberries that I loved on Vis Island.

 

Will we return?

Of course!

My love story with Sardinia goes on. Happily,Marcel’s love story with Sardinia has also begun! ♥
