My destination for the afternoon was
Porto Cervo but first I had to get lunch. A couple of candidates on the way from Palau were closed because it was out of season. I found a roadside pizzeria and had their napoletana. I love anchovies but I had to drink a lot of water afterwards.
Porto Cervo is the seaside resort that started the development of this part of Sardinia,
Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast), as a playground for the rich. I only wanted a squiz and maybe to splurge on an afternoon coffee.
As you can see it has been built up and is not longer in the wild state you saw in previous locations I visited.
The beaches are no great shakes but I suppose the rich would have their swimming pools.
There is a Mediterranean style shopping village where holidaymakers can buy their luxuries, er needs.
Further walking took me to a marina where pleasure craft can dock and refuel.
I suppose this would be a pleasant piazza on summer evenings to dine and to be seen.
So my curiosity was satisfied. I don't think I would hanker for a vacation here even if I could afford it. I was lucky to find a free car park for the price of a bit more walking.
