Bosa, situated on the coast at 45 km south  from Alghero is the main town in the Planargia region, and the only town belonging to the Nuoro province to look over the west coast. The production of crafts extends to coral jewellery and carving, renowned and exclusive production of "filet" a particular type of gold filigree and basket weaving. It is famous for its production of Malvasia, a uniquely flavoured wine, typical of the region. You can taste authentic Malvasia in the minute "Cantine" which you can find in the lower side of Bosa, hidden between the houses in the backstreets.

The town is cut by the river Temo, the third biggest natural river in Sardinia. The river can be sailed by small boat up to the church of S. Pietro Extramuros (built in 1073 DC, in the place where the roman Bosa once was situated. at about 3 miles from the source of the mouth of the river in Bosa Marina. But Bosa best treasure are the multitude of small beaches with clear crystal water. Apart from the large beach of Bosa Marina (most easily accessible also the busiest) carrying down the coast south, we will get to Turas beach. Near the river estuary also the coves of Sas Covas, Sos Columbos, Poggiu 'e Padres and Turas. The coast going North towards Alghero gets wilder and wider. Fishing lovers will appreciate Capo Marrargiu.

 
 
  The old town will fascinate you with its medieval architecture, the narrow and steep little road and stairs all the way up to the Malaspina Castle (1112). Visits to the Church Nostra Signora di Regni Alti (1300), the Cathedral (1400) and the country Church of S. Pietro Extramuros  (1073) are also due.

Seasonal festivals in Bosa are quite an attraction. On the second Sunday in September the celebrations for Nostra Signora dei Regni Alti, start with a procession throughout the Sa Costa quarter, up to the Church followed by food and wine being offered in the streets of the old town by locals. Characteristic is also the Bosa Carnival. On the first Sunday in August there is a spectacular boat procession on the river for Santa Maria del Mare.
