Beautiful Bosa

(Usual waiver applies to grammar, typos, spelling as I'm posting via a small phone screen on the hoof 🤭, click on the pics to zoom in).

Road trip yesterday to the beautiful Bosa. Fun fact,  the only Sardinian town on a river. It is famed as 'one of the most beautiful villages in Italy'.

We took the bus from Alghero and it was the most spectacular coast line with gorgeous blue, blue water. A few people had the same idea😁 and  seats on the right hand side of the bus  went fast! 

Bosa is known for its colorful houses and it didn't disappoint. It's tucked into the side of the Temo river  beneath the Malaspina Castle. It's old village charm and very few crowds.....our style, we like! 

We just followed our noses and explored the gorgeous old town. Wonderful architecture, fabulous wrought iron balconies and lots of places to sit and soak it all up. We found the church alongside the river and it had some beautiful frescos. Lit candles for our loved ones.

We then wound our way up through the lanes to the castle fortress. There's more terracotta tile here than you could shake a stick at, love it.

The colourful houses are stunning and so different. 

Of course lunch was involved and the octopus and beef tonnato was off the charts delicious.

Not sure who would choose the 8 smash burger below  😬 yikes!

The castle was a fantastic viewing spot to see all of Bosa and out to the coast.  A great defensive position.

The chapel had 13th century icons that had  been lovingly cared for. 

You could imagine after chapel service those living inside the castles walls enjoying the peace and shade of the almond grove. 

Sardinia is classed as a 'blue' town where lifestyle and diet supports healthy old age living. I think they must pump something into the water here, it's all so chill with octogenarians leisurely cycling about, no rubbish on the streets, is this place for real?😁.  Even the street cats look better quality than Greece😁.

 Lovely day in beautiful Bosa and another awesome bus trip back along the coast to the equally lovely old town in Alghero 👌.
