Nuraghic settlement, Santa Christina

---

19 May 2011

Our first stop was at the village of Milis where we supposed to be able to buy the locally grown oranges, but we couldn’t find anywhere to get them so they must have been out of season. Not far from there was another Nuraghic settlement, Santa Christina, which was both interesting and very pretty as it was set in a shady grove of olive trees. It contained a single tower 15m high which we were able to climb, a long building of unknown use and an underground sacred well which was in exceptional condition considering its age.

From there we climbed over the rim of an extinct volcano on a steep mountain road and reached the coast again at the pretty town of Bosa situated on the banks of the Temo, Sardinia’s only navigable river.

We found yet another exceptional remote coastal spot to stop where the owner cooked us a delicious supper based on the locally caught giant prawns.
