Roccia Dell'Orso & Palau Day 2&3

Today we went to Palau in north-eastern Sardinia.

Palau is the northern gateway to the Costa Smeralda and the door to the La Maddalena Archipelago.

Close to Palau, there are two tourist attractions worth visiting. One is the Fortezza di Monte Altura, an old military fortress overlooking Palau, built into the granite landscape with incredible views over the coast.

The other one is Roccia dell’Orso, one of northern Sardinia’s landmarks. It’s a massive granite rock naturally shaped like a bear, overlooking the sea and the La Maddalena Archipelago.

Both places are beautiful and very affordable. We visited the Fortezza di Monte Altura last year, so this time we decided to visit Roccia dell’Orso.

Sardinia is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen, and it never gets boring. I love the food, the people, the weather, the sea, the landscapes and so many other things.

Sardinia is also home to one of the world’s Blue Zones, where people are known for living exceptionally long lives. I think their mindset, relaxed lifestyle, strong sense of community, good food and beautiful environment might have something to do with it.

There’s just something about life here that feels different. 🇮🇹🌊Read more
