Alghero Travel Tips

Alghero's old town is walled right up to the sea, but there are many interesting beaches around, especially around Stintino. The Grotta de Nettuno is found on the peninsula of Capo Caccia. It's a favorite place to visit; boat trips from Alghero's port depart to the grotto at regular intervals in summer, and less frequently in spring and fall. There is an hourly tour of the marine caves.

The area around Alghero is rich in evidence of the island's prehistoric culture. Nuraghe di Palmavera is the best preserved nuraghic complex in the region and the older Anghelu Ruju is a necropolis consisting of around forty burial chambers.

North of Alghero Marina is the sandy beach of Alghero, a short stroll from the historic center.

Alghero has a strong Catalan character owing to the seizing of the town by Pedro IV of Aragon in the 14th century and the Spanish colonization that followed. Catalan is heard in the streets--and if you speak Spanish there's a good chance a local will understand you.
