White beaches kissed by a sea with shades of silver, turquoise, blue and topaz. Sandy coves, cliffs, islands. Many of the legends about Sardinia\u2019s splendour come from here, from the enchanting northwestern side of the island. Explore it with us.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0northwest coast<\/strong>\u00a0of Sardinia has its own scent, that of the sea combined with the rocks, of clumps of myrtle shaken by the wind, rock rose and strawberry tree, that you find in the area\u2019s exquisite honey.<\/p>\n On this coast the sea is king, with its colours it licks the white beaches and offers up its prized fish to embellish the tables.<\/p>\n The journey starts from\u00a0Castelsardo<\/strong>, an ancient medieval fortress, featuring\u00a0Doria castle<\/strong>, which overlooks the sea and has a deep-rooted history as a defensive fortress. Savour the delicious\u00a0Castellana lobster<\/strong>\u00a0and immerse yourself in the beautiful\u00a0Punta la Capra<\/strong>, which plays on sea and rocks to create a true open-air swimming pool.<\/p>\n The beaches in this area are among the most famous on the island with their characteristic\u00a0white sand<\/strong>, such as the marvellous\u00a0La Pelosa<\/strong>\u00a0beach, which will enchant you with its crystal clear water. Visit\u00a0Stintino<\/strong>, situated on the last limb of Sardinia, which stretches out towards the\u00a0island of Asinara<\/strong>\u00a0as to touch it, showing itself to the world as a masterpiece of rare beauty. Savour real seafood here and visit\u00a0Capo Falcone<\/strong>, a promontory with wild charm in whose clefts the\u00a0peregrine falcon<\/strong>\u00a0gives life to her little ones.<\/p>\n Sassari,<\/strong>\u00a0in the hinterland, historic urban centre of Capo di Sopra and ancient royal city rich in art and nature, is the most important reference point of northern Sardinia. Visit the\u00a0Sanna<\/strong>\u00a0Museum<\/strong>, rich in historical artefacts, and take a look at the\u00a0Fontana di Rosello<\/strong>, together with the splendid\u00a0Piazza d\u2019Italia<\/strong>, symbol of the city.<\/p>\n Highlights include the natural lake of\u00a0Baratz<\/strong>, the beaches of\u00a0Porto Palmas<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Porto Ferro<\/strong>, with their dazzling colours.<\/p>\n If you love the story of the\u00a0nuraghe<\/strong>, visit the\u00a0Monte d\u2019Accoddi<\/strong>\u00a0complex.<\/p>\n Alghero<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Coral Coast<\/strong>\u00a0are the pearls of this side of Sardinia. Immerse yourself in the pure blue of the\u00a0Bombarde beach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Near the town the\u00a0promontory of Capo Caccia<\/strong>\u00a0emerges where the famous\u00a0Grotta di Nettuno<\/strong>\u00a0lies. Here the water\u2019s reflections create a play of light on the walls, where nature has embroidered real salt with\u00a0stalactites<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0stalagmites<\/strong>. The underground salt lake is the stuff of fairy tales.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for a moment of romance, walk along the scenic road that connects\u00a0Alghero<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0Bosa<\/strong>, an ancient village that lies on the banks of the\u00a0river Temo<\/strong>. Enjoy a\u00a0glass of Malvasia<\/strong>\u00a0as you watch the sun set over the\u00a0Ponte Vecchio<\/strong>\u00a0and impress on your memory photos of a unique landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" White beaches kissed by a sea with shades of silver, turquoise, blue and topaz.
