This plan uses it as the backbone of the day: the morning in shallow turquoise water, seafood lunch facing the gulf, an hour at the Tonnara Museum to understand the town and the climb up to the Capo Falcone tower as the sun goes down. Pizza for dinner on the promenade and, if you can, stay the night: the drive back is long. ## Getting there from Spain Fly to Olbia (OLB), with a direct flight from Barcelona, or to Cagliari (CAG), from Barcelona and Seville. Alghero airport is closer, about 50 km away, but has no direct flight from Spain. Hire a car: from Olbia it is about two hours and from Cagliari about three and a half hours, estimated times. From Cagliari it makes no sense to go and come back in a day: sleep in Stintino. ## Before you go: the reservation From 15 May to 15 October, La Pelosa admits only 1,500 people a day, with a €3.50 reservation per person on the official website. A thousand of those places open at 9:00 two days before. To go on Saturday, log on on Thursday at nine. Children under 12 do not need to book. Bring a mat: without one you cannot put your towel down. ## The day, hour by hour 9:30 · La Pelosa. Park beside the sand and show your QR code. Very shallow water, the 1578 tower on its islet and Piana island ahead. Go to La Pelosetta, next door, to see the tower up close. 13:00 · Lunch at L'Ancora. On the beach road, over the sand, with picture windows onto the gulf. Linguine alla falconiera or seafood fregola, about €24, and grilled gulf fish sold by weight. Lunches from 12:30 to 15:00. 15:00 · Siesta or a second swim. The afternoon is for resting or going back to the beach with the same reservation. 17:30 · Tonnara Museum. In the village. An hour to see how tuna was caught in the tonnara and how Stintino was born with the families expelled from Asinara. €5, free for under-15s. 19:00 · Capo Falcone. You go back towards La Pelosa and climb the tower, about 200 m above the sea. To the west, cliffs; to the east, the beach and Asinara. The sun sets over the open sea. 21:00 · Dinner at Il Portico. Wood-fired pizza, fried seafood or grilled red tuna on the promenade, facing the harbour. ## Cómo llegar ### By car Essential from Olbia or Cagliari.
