Welcome back to my 2 weeks in Sardinia travel series! I’m sharing detailed videos of my trip to Sardinia while visiting Costa Smeralda, the Baunei Coast, Alghero, and La Maddalena. 

On today’s adventure we left Alghero and drove to Palau. We took the ferry from Palau to La Maddalena, checked into our B&B, and then headed to Caprera to explore. Here, we visited the Giuseppe Garibaldi museum before heading back and enjoying a beautiful sunset on La Maddalena. Of course, the best nights end with pizza.

Join me as I take you through a detailed version of each day during my summer in Sardinia! Last August, we took a 2 weeks road trip in Sardinia - exploring Costa Smeralda, the Baunei Coast, Alghero,and La Maddalena. Make sure to check out my previous videos to catch up!

On day 9 we hit the road and first stopped in Bosa. It’s a colorful town close to the west coast of northern Sardinia. After some shopping and walking around, we had a BEAUTIFUL drive up the coastline to Alghero.

We immediately took off to Capi Caccia to soak in the views and couldn’t get over the natural beauty. Then, we were off to our appointment at @sellaemosca for an incredible wine tour and tasting before wrapping up our evening at @aziendasamandra.
