We visited several places around Sardinia in 2010, including Porto Cervo where my mother celebrated her birthday, the historic city of Castelsardo with its castle views, and the Catalan city of Alghero. Some highlights were finding a secluded beach after a dangerous hike, exploring the red rock coast of Costa Paradiso and its crystal clear waters, and visiting the marble chapel of Saccargi. The trip also included swimming daily in the fantastic beaches, eating delicious pasta, and collecting seashells to remember the luxury vacation in Sardinia.
