What to see and what to do in Bosa and Bosa Marina, in Sardinia just below Alghero, here are our low cost tips to visit this village and spend a beautiful day with us.
Bosa it arose in a valley overlooking the west coast of Sardinia, easily reachable by the panoramic coastal road from Alghero, which alternates cliffs with the rugged beauty of unspoiled Sardinia.
I will advise you what to do in one day in one small village where time seems to have stopped. The river that crosses the town has marked the life and economy of this small village flows slowly under the watchful eye of the Malaspina Castle. We leave immediately.
Arriving in the city the first thing you notice is the Serravalle Castle, built by the Tuscan Malaspina family, who have been protecting the small town from its hill for nine hundred years. The castle can be reached by car but it is advisable to start from the slopes of the hill going up the narrow streets of the old part dating back to 1600. It is a tangle of alleys, more or less steep stairs dominated by tall pastel-colored houses and from which they open panoramas more and more interesting as you go up.
The entrance to the castle costs 4 €, inside you can visit the interiors, climb the walls and towers (not on very strong wind days) to admire the surrounding area and visit the church of Nostra Signora de Sos Regnos Altos, a church within the perimeter of the walls which inside preserves a cycle of frescoes from the Aragonese school dating back to 1300.
The visit to the castle could take you an hour or two, so you have time to get to Bosa Marina. But first we pass on the Lungotemo, of which the left bank is occupied by the old tanneries, declared a national monument in 1989. production of hides and skins It has been known since 1600 and ends in the second half of the twentieth century, a few years later, the row of buildings characterized by their simplicity, is declared a national monument. Now many of the buildings house small businesses, private homes and restaurants with a unique view of Bosa and the Castle.
In the afternoon we can dedicate ourselves to visiting the city; there Cathedral it is located in Corso Vittorio Emanuele, it is usually open and you can easily access it.
Also on the course is the Deriu House Museum, an ancient Bosana residence that can be visited but you have to be careful about the closing days and times.
We spent the day discovering this quaint village and what could be better than ending the day with a good dinner. I will write a post about it but for dinner I recommend it Trattoria Biancospino; a very welcoming place that offers a not very wide choice but of high quality with an excellent value for money
