Anke's Visit (Day 12)

We headed out this morning to Alghero on the opposite side of the island. It takes about two hours to drive there. At the very tip of Alghero is a place called Capo Caccia... It's very tall!

After Capo Caccia, we headed down into the city of Alghero..

 Then on the way home, we stopped in Codrongianos to see the old church...
Basilica della Santissima Trinità di Saccargia

Then drinks with friends after at Piero's!

Alghero

Early in the morning we headed out from Palau across the island to Alghero. It was founded as far back at 1500 BCE. Picking up another friend in Arzachena. We left at 5am, and THIS was the sky.

We arrived about an hour and a half later near Alghero and stopped at the Nuraghe Palavera. A Nuraghe is a megaliths (Large Stone) complex that has been dated to as far back 5000 BCE. This one is dated to 3500 years BCE.  At it's center is a limestone tower with an elliptical building and secondary limestone tower. There are multiple ruins around the center, about 50 circular dwellings.

Next stop along the way was Porto Conte. Beautiful tower that I took a picture of the Prius in front. Great picture of me with Capo Caccia in the background.

Drove to the top of Capo Caccia..

 

Arrived in the City of Alghero and had a wonderful time seeing the sights!
