After breakfast, we explore the the historic part of town and make our way up to the Malaspina Castle that sits on top of the hill watching over Bosa. It's a great view from the top and we can see the river winding out to sea. Aside from a small church with frescoes and the view from the wall, there's not much to see in the castle.
Walking back down, we enjoy the colours of Bosa.
In the afternoon, we take a bus to the Bosa Marina. The bus stops in Piazza Zanetti are a bit confusing. There are four quadrants with benchs, but most buses seem to just stop at one corner no matter their destination. There is also a man who's always lingering around the piazza. Not sure if he's homeless or not, but he's wearing a fresh pair of bright green Asics. We also seem to keep bumping into "Jesus and friends" who are Catalan and also heading for the beach. Bosa's a small town.
Lots of people are out on the beach and there's a group practicing kite surfing. A stone wall separates the tranquil beach and the sea crashing against the rocks on the other side.
We head back to Bosa and do a little shopping. We head out of a store, thinking it was closing, but on the street we run into a funeral procession. A huge crowd follows the hearse and stares at us. Cafe patrons along the street stand up out of respect. Storekeepers peer out and close their gates. Is it out of respect or superstition?
I make a flash card for Sophia before we head out for dinner. She is allergic to fish, but seafood is fine. We go to Sa Pischedda, a nice restaurant in a hotel across the river. I have the filet San Giorgio with potatoes and olives, Sophia has a rice pasta with seafood. However, she doesn't use the flash card.
We head back to the main square for gelato to sooth Sophia's fishy throat. It's a sweet summer night with kids running around. A boy bikes his sister around the square.
