15 minutes drive from Orosei and 5 minutes from Fuile Mare is the small laid-back resort of Cala Liberotto with a few modest hotels plus a number of restaurants and pizzerias as well as two rustic beach side cantinas serving ice creams, cold drinks and simple meals. Here again, fragrant pinewoods fringe the beautiful, white sand beaches with villas nestling in their shade. There are a few simple shops as well as bicycles for hire, plus tennis courts available at one of the hotels.
1km inland and adjoining Cala Liberotto, the village of Sos Alinos has a well stocked supermarket plus a few other shops including a fishmongers, hairdressing salon and an excellent pizzeria for takeaway meals. Horse riding is available at nearby Cala Ginepro and for a tranquil day’s outing and a little light exercise, a cycle ride to the Biderosa nature reserve is certainly worthwhile. Set on an extensive wooded promontory just beyond Cala Ginepro it also boasts some fabulous beaches that remain virtually deserted even in high season. Although the reserve can be entered by car, access is limited to 50 vehicles per day and tickets can only be purchased from the town hall in Orosei the previous afternoon! Entrance is free on bicycles and the reserve can also be more daringly reached by crossing a fast flowing stream at the far end of Cala Ginepro’s second wide sandy beach. However, it does mean wading up to your chest or possibly even swimming a few strokes across the stream, but if you have the courage, it’s perfectly legal! Do however wear rubber-soled shoes as the bottom is sharp and pebbly as we found out to our cost, when we nearly lost a camera in the process! Safety Note: Not recommended for non-swimmers or young children. Send dad first to check it out!
