Porto Raphael, in the north of the Island (nr Palau) is a rather unusual village.It is a village, only some 40-odd years old, very smart and upmarket. It features some impressive looking, but not overly-ostentatious villas. Many of them appear to have a slightly 'Arab / Moroccan' feel to the architecture.This may be your 'set', in which case enjoy your yacht, your expensive drink in 'Harry's bar' and the stunning setting. The rest of us will slum it elsewhere.
Also called "Europe's Grand Canyon2 it's a narrow and steep valley producted by the water erosion of the Rio Flumineddu. It's never wider than 20 metres it's 400 to 500 metres deep, with vertical walls. The rivers forms some small lakes in the valley.You can get there with a two hours trek in a beautiful scenario.
Take the SS125 East over the mountains. Take the right turning just before the left turning to Burcei. Drive up the single track up into the mountains. Once up th top plenty of places to park. Near the end of the road is a smal Nuraghe with great views of the mountains
The town of Castelsardo. is where you can visit the ancient towers and ramparts, the Doria Castle, and the 12th-century church of Santa Maria di Tergu. More miles of breathtaking coast lead to Porto Torres, where the 11th-century Romanesque church of San Gavino is well worth a pause, and then on to Stintino, the northwestern tip of Sardinia facing the former penal island of Asinara.
It seems no matter where you go in Italy, there are different ways of arriving at solutions to building problems and all manner of things are liable to be used.....as shown in these examples.
I would say that is quite 'Off the beaten path', at least for me. Seems to be quite a speciality and this one was also cooked by Gino, our local host. Thanx Gino! :)
A famous little town in the north of Sardegna.
In the background you can imagine the town Bonifacio on Korsica.
