Sardinia: Why It Feels Like an Island Within an Island

Sardinia has been linked to the Mediterranean for millennia, yet mountains, plateaux and valleys have made its interior a collection of distinct territories. Its identity grows from the meeting of outward connections and local distance: port cities, mountain towns, languages, economies and memories that do not always overlap. To understand the island is to look beyond the coast and see why the sea may be near while another town remains far away.
