Old America

If you are ever blessed enough to find yourself walking the streets of beautiful Alghero go to Bar Vecchia America for a morning coffee and pastry. Located outside of the old city center (but not too far) on Vittorio Emanuele, Vecchia America has the best pastries (called pastas) I have ever had. No where else has compared. My favorite are puffy triangles filled with just the right amount of chocolate. They were soft,airy and sweet, but with a bit of a caramel-crunch. There are small tables in front of the shop and you can watch the world go by. The people are kind, they even served us free cups of homemade coffee ice-cream our last day in Alghero! I promise, if you go- you'll go back!
