I see that the beautiful beach of Capo Pecora was to your liking, but looking good your eyes, I am also certain that you are happy for our decision to spend a few days in Sardinia. Last night, while you swimming serene under the light of the moon rising, I have made friends with three other women from Sardinia, even their inside vacation in Buggerru. Anna, Genesia and Laila, I added to the lady that you already know, also her named Anna. These new friends – I would like to present to you today, before our departure – have one thing identical to one another: when we speak of Sardinia, the their face lights, up and their eyes sparkle with love for their native land. None of them, in fact, lives on the island, but on the continent.
After a day of total relaxation, today we will have a short stage with regard to kilometers, but challenging for what we have to visit and enjoy: the beach Scivu, Portu Maga, Marina di Arbus, and the beach Funtanazza, to arrive at our evening stage, the Pistis Beach with nearby Tower of Corsairs. Scivu beach – 3 km long – is made with a light-colored sand, typical of the Costa Verde, side of the island that we visit today. We may just take a dip and a short swim, near in the beach surrounded by dunes (accessible only with our legs), but that place frequented by surfers and lovers of scuba diving, certainly leave us – even if we stop for short time – the turquoise color of the sea in our eyes.
Portu Maga – 39 ° 34’31 .79” N 8 ° 27’52 .66” E – is what we see along the coastal road, on the edge of our Vespa 300ie. Even here the sand and white, but the waters are of a color changing blue and you will not be able to completely reproduce that color in your travel journal. The backdrops are very low, and that is the reason why you can observe many children in the water. Marina di Arbus (just north), gives us 2 km of beach, rocks and vegetation, but also a refreshment bar, where – if you want – we can stop for a quick snack. Yes, I already know that you will want to dive into the blue, but I prefer waiting to shore, where maybe I will open my journal, and using water colors I will try to capture also the color of your happiness.
39 ° 36’47 .42” N 8 ° 27’59 .28” E, we are in the beach of Funtanazza – always in Costa Verde, always with pale sand beneath our feet – but we cannot stop too long, because I would like to observe the sunset of the Sun on the sea, from the top of the hill to the Tower of Corsairs, where under us the 1.5 km sand is fringed by dunes and has a strange white and ocher color. We will have to choose where and how to spend the night, that is, if in our little tent ultra-light, or in a hotel. If we decide to hotel, close to the Tower of the Corsairs, we can sleep at the Hotel Galleon, or just half a kilometer to the north, choose the Village Golden Sands. My opinion? Better this second hotel – http://sabbiedoro.wix.com/villaggiosabbiedoro – because it gives us the advantage of being close to the beach.
They say that the hotel resort Golden Sands is the temple of the senses, the one where sight and hearing, taste and touch, but also smell, come together for no apparent reason, in a timeless place, where nature seems to have stopped, for of us. I’ll to you remember that the next night will be special, because we can observe the sea illuminated by the full moon, but I will observe the sky in your eyes, to collect the reflection of a single star, to keep it this jealously into myself.
