Eating in Cagliari… the real thing

Cagliari’ s natives are crazy about seafood and, if you do not only want to visit Cagliari but live Cagliari, you must try some of the local specialties where the locals go.

Among these are the kiosk/restaurants in the Poetto area. Originally born as very simple booths where fishermen would sell sea urchins, they slowly turned into sort of “trattorias”.

I would not really call them restaurants as the facilities and […] Continue Reading…

Oristano’s Sartiglia

In the full post you’ll find a detailed description, more pictures and some tips on where to stay.

I know you want me to tell you about Alghero…

Since I was a teenager Alghero was one of the top favourite places to go for my summer holidays, main reasons being its fabulous night life, good camping sites and lots of nice beaches nearby…(Le Bombarde was my favourite one).

But now that I am older and wiser…I like it even more. It is indeed a lovely town that has got so much to offer to people of all ages, […] Continue Reading…
