Bosa
BOSA is a picture-perfect town of pastel houses huddled around a hilltop castle on the banks of the Temo river, 62km north of Oristano (2hr by bus). Its attractions are low-key – wandering the mazy cobbled lanes of the medieval Sa Costa district up to the castle is probably the best way to spend your time – but it makes a pleasant, if sleepy place to hole up for a few days. Most of the tourist activity is concentrated in the less attractive but livelier Bosa Marina a few kilometres west, where a crescent of sandy beach is backed by hotels, restaurants and bars.
