Seafood Lunch in Marceddi

We drove about 30 minutes south of Oristano for lunch at Ristorante Da Lucio in the fishing village of Marceddi.

The seafood was fresh from the boats, docked just across the street.

It’s a sleepy town with dusty streets,

but the restaurant was filled with happy customers.

Near the town of Santa Giusta is one of Sardinia’s third largest lagoons, a natural habitat for flamingos. It was a thrill to see them feasting on tiny crustaceans that live in the water.

Back in Oristano, we’re admiring the statues, palm trees, and architecture. It’s a nice small city! The stature of Eleonora, one of Sardinia’s most famous heroines, stands in this square.

We’ll be here one more day before we leave for our next stop, Alghero.
