An excursion to some of the most evocative and hidden places in the north east of Sardinia with a typical Gallurese dinner at the end. We begin with the tomb of the giants of Li Mizzani, considered by the astro archaeologists to be one of the most powerful sources of natural magnetism in Sardinia and believed to have exceptional medicinal properties for various pathologies. Not far away, we will also visit the little church of San Giorgio, built in 1675 by a group of hermits who lived in total isolation in an area considered sacred since the most remote prehistoric times. Then we will move towards the sea to Porto Rafael, a small tourist settlement that faces La Maddalena Archipelago National Park. Founded in the 1960s by the Spanish Count Rafael Neville de Berlanga del Duero, the tourist hub is characterised by a quaint piazza overlooking Cala Inglese, also known as the ‘Porto Rafael pool’, and by the white houses bounded by colourful gardens, after we’ll pass through Palau to go up the panoramic square of Barrage from where you can see all islands of the Archipelago. In the end the delicious and abundant Sardinian dinner in the Lu Branu farm restaurant.
