Short description of Sardinia
Sardinia (Sardegna) is the second largest island in the Mediterranean, a land of white beaches, turquoise water and Bronze Age stone towers (nuraghi). The Costa Smeralda and the La Maddalena Archipelago shape the northeast, while in the northwest Alghero keeps its walled Catalan old town near Neptune's Grotto. Cagliari, the capital, rises around its hilltop Castello quarter above Poetto beach in the south. Between them lie the Su Nuraxi fortress of Barumini, the coves of the Gulf of Orosei, the wild Gennargentu mountains, ancient Tharros and La Pelosa beach. Pecorino, culurgiones, roast suckling pig (porceddu) and Cannonau wine make Sardinia worth a week or more.
