ENJOY YOUR MEAL: Eating fish and shellfish, the island of Sant ‘Antioco, Sardinia

220 km and three hours of road, on our Vespa 300ie. I decided to start on a late afternoon – 18:00 – to avoid the heat, which now makes itself felt. Paved roads – SS125var, SS54, SS130, SS126sud – and we are finally to Sant ‘Antioco, to arrive at our overnight stop on the sea in the beach of Mangiabarche. I confess I am tired, and I did not want to build our little tent ultra-light. About the Hotel “Luci del Faro?”: http://www.hotelucidelfaro.com/v3/en.html

Hotel Luci del Faro is Calasetta, in the north-west of the island of Sant ‘Antioco, on a beautiful cliff overlooking the beach of Mangiabarche. We also have a nice patio to our room, the one where we can observe one unpolluted clove of our Mother Earth. You need not have recourse to your imagination to imagine the sunset over the sea, what we will see this evening, dining on our veranda. But I’m warning you right now: I wake up early tomorrow morning, because I also want capture the colors of dawn.

My idea – for tomorrow morning – is to use the bicycles that the hotel offers to its guests, and we can move freely, with our small backpack, and the small food that I would like us to prepare in the kitchen hotel. For the afternoon, but only if you are of my own opinion, I would like to rent a boat to get to the island in front of us, Carloforte where we can observe, from the sea, what the day after tomorrow we will visit, landing in Punta Colonne.

No, do not be worried about spending – http://www.hotelucidelfaro.com/v3/en/prices.html – because what we spend in this period of the season, I think we can bear that cost, 89 € per person (including breakfast and dinner). I already talked to the cook, and I am sure what he told me it will be to your liking. Why? Our dinner tonight is based on fish and shellfish (of course the sea around Sant ‘Antioco), but it will taste even appetizers of tuna, mullet and musciame. The wine? White, one of the cellars of Sant ‘Antioco. Enjoy your meal.
