Buona Pasqua in Bonacardo

In Alghero we had a great meal on the waterfront as the sun set over the lighthouse we had sailed past earlier in the day – a good way to forget the stolen bag! All the lights are covered with red cloth, giving Alghero a magical feeling. In the morning the grand prix was on the TV, and seemed to attract more people than the Easter church activities.
All of Alghero were out in the town – the streets were busy but shops all closed – a shame as some lovely things to buy from the look of the windows.
Then we went onto Bosa – lovely but not a lot of time to look around.
After a fabulous drive along windy roads, like a car ad, and so much fun in the Alfa!, we went to Bonarcado for lunch. Recommended in the Slow Food guide – a list of the best restaurants in Italy where they still cook in traditional fashion with the best local ingredients - one of our major resources for the trip.
Having arrived and seeing it was gorgeous, we ordered a litre of the house red, so decided to stay the night. Accomodation was in a small cottage with a lawn outside and sheep in the fields all around. We had a fabulous lunch, and very relaxing afternoon reading mags and relaxing in the sun – with the Italian guests all playing footy. Dinner was back in the same restaurant - very chilled out.
