Sardinia Travel Information

• Visit the Santu Antine Nuraghe between Macomer and Sassari, which is the most famous of the nuraghi stones. Then scour the rest of the island to find your own personal favorite.
• Don’t miss the cheese and honey pastries fried in oil (sebadas) or the crayfish (aragosta), suckling pig (porceddu) or tuna or mullet roe (buttage). Sardinian food is straightforward and good.
• Alghero is one of the busiest resorts and you may be surprised to find the road signs remind you of Barcelona.  Many of the inhabitants have Catalan origins and in the 14th century it was known as Little Barcelona.
• All the corks in Italy’s wine bottles have come from the cork trees on Sardinia.
