Long urban beach with pale sand and shallow water close to the centre. It combines sea views with an easy walk from the historic core.
Sardinian flatbread baked into crisp sheets. It is a staple across north-west Sardinia and often served with cheese, cured meats or olive oil.
Layers of pane carasau softened in broth and baked with tomato sauce, pecorino and poached eggs. A beloved Sardinian comfort dish.
