Alghero

Among the cobbled streets of the historic center, in the facades of the buildings, between the mullioned windows and the walled portals, the image and history of Alghero are hidden. A Catalan history enclosed within centuries-old walls that have always been a hinge between the world beyond and on this side of the sea.

A Fortress City. And it is here between the walls and the sea that you can read the soul of the city. Alghero is a charming Catalan city which, having been a colony of the Spanish kingdom, is full of traces of Catalan culture and tradition in every corner of the city. Its beautiful old town and massive fortification walls make Alghero a destination not to be missed on your trip to Sardinia.

From the tourist port of Alghero you can make various boat trips. For example, you may be lucky enough to observe dolphins, which are often found in the waters of Alghero, or you can visit the Grotte di Nettuno in Capo Caccia. These are among the most famous caves in Italy, where you can admire how the water has eroded the rocks over the years and the karst formation processes. It is also possible to reach them on foot from Capo Caccia, as there are stone steps leading up to the cave. From the top you can enjoy a spectacular view of the sea.
