Alghero - Sun, Sand And Entertainment!
Alghero, Italy is a charming and characterful resort off the mainland on the northwestern Sardinian coast. And talk about culture – Alghero is a smorgasbord of Italian and Catalan influences, impacting on every joyous aspect of your stay, should this be in its street names, distinctive architecture, language, café culture, or thrilling historical sites to visit. The very fabric of Alghero, Sardinia is fantastically ancient, with the kind of narrow, mazy and labyrinthine alleyways housing shops, bars, cafes and restaurants which no curious holidaymaker ever tires of exploring. In the latter, you can tuck into paella, lobster, pizza and even fresh seafood direct from Alghero’s prosperous port. Traditional Alghero weather conditions are also largely favourable. With winter temperatures rarely dropping below 15 degrees Celsius, any time is a good time for Alghero travel. There are amazing, long and sandy beaches to spread out on, both at the Lido under the shade of town’s pine trees, and at La Pelosa in Stintino. Come August, there are even seasonal events such as a Tourists’ Fair and a fabulously affordable World Music Festival.
