Bosa and Alghero are two charming towns each in its own way. These stops were a nice variation from all the beaches and out of the way places I have been. I spent a morning in Bosa and then left for Alghero. The drive between the two was only 90 minutes but, was one of the most scenic I have experienced since I have been on the island. Bosa is small and I spent only one night, this seemed like the right amount of time. Alghero is quite a bit larger and has much more to do and see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drive from Bosa to Alghero was amazing, just a stunning coast highway. at almost every point along the way.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Old-town Alghero. This is where I chose to spend a couple of nights. Once I parked in a remote parking area to the old-town, it was a 15 minute walk to the guest house I would be staying. From there everything in the old-town is very walkable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was my choice for lodging and it was a great one, only 12 rooms. The owner\/proprietor gave me a wealth of information for restaurants to avoid, as well as ones to choose. He also acted as a great concierge and would make reservations for me. Since I was only here for a brief time, I didn’t want to waste one of the few dining experiences I would have on some mediocre restaurant. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This night-time street vender with the kind smile was selling trick boxes that were impossible to open without knowing the trick. He wouldn’t show you the trick until you purchased at least one box. I bought three of them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
