Travelling down the west coast we visited the coastal town Bosa and then the archaeological site at Tharros - a settlement founded by the Phoenicians around the 8th century BC. We spent the night at an agriturismo (farm stay accommodation) near the village of Santa Vera Milis. The next day we continued south visiting Su Nuraxi, the Nuraghe archeaological site near Barumini.
