The town of Bosa lies between the hot and more inaccessible plateaus of Planargia, bleached by the summer sun, and the rocky coast in the west of Sardinia. The River Temo cuts through the table mountains down into the Mediterranean and is even deep enough for fishing boats and barges a few kilometres up from the coast. This is unique for a river in Sardinia. The present-day town of Bosa developed on the basis of this favourable location. Read more
Dreamy pitches in Sardinia right by the sea or with magnificent views – that’s surely what most of the now numerous campers wish for. This is also what is suggested in the many sales catalogues for the vehicles. The reality, however, is often cramped, noisy and well-filled campsites. In Sardinia, however, there are still many opportunities in some places and at certain times to stay overnight a bit more secluded, legally, or at least tolerated by the local residents. Read more
The scenic diversity and beauty of Sardinia’s west coast are best experienced on foot, hiking along the coast or in the mountains of the hinterland. The coastal section at Torre Argentina, north of Bosa, is ideal for this: impressive nature, a rugged rocky landscape, refreshing swimming opportunities in the crystal-clear sea, and an inviting place to stop for delicious food with a unique coastal panorama.

Sardinia boasts varied, often wild, rugged and colourful rocky coasts. Shaped by erosion, you’ll find the most daring and imaginative shapes with a wide range of surface textures – from smooth and rounded, rough and porous to razor-sharp and pointed. The rocks also glow in every colour of the spectrum. Together with the deep blue and turquoise of the sea and sky, the reds and yellows of algae and lichens and the green of the vegetation, the result is an often surreal, psychedelic play of colours – completely natural, without any mind-altering drugs.

Alghero, on the west coast of Sardinia, has been shaped by numerous, changing rulers. This began with early roots in the Neolithic period and the well-known Nuragic culture. Around 800 BC, its history continued with Phoenician, Carthaginian, and later Roman influences. The Genoese followed in the 11th century, before the Catalans (with the House of Aragon) significantly influenced the cityscape and regional culture that can still be seen today. Read more
The stunning bay with the old coastal watchtower Torre del Porticciolo is located on the west coast of North Sardinia in the Nurra region. This dreamlike stretch of coastline is a destination in its own right.

On the ferry from Livorno to Olbia, the anticipation for the journey along the west coast of Sardinia begins to build. We had previously rounded off the day of arrival with a bottle of wine and a beautiful sunset, and spent a quiet night on the coast south of the city centre, so that we would be well-rested at the harbour for the early morning departure.
