Alghero
Alghero is a very charming city, and the perfect place for those who love the fine architecture influenced by the Aragonese-Catalan people. Under the Aragona’s Crown, the fortress city of Alghero grew.
The signs of that eras past are still noticeable, including the use by some residents of the official language for centuries: Catalan. You will discover that the old town with narrow, winding, streets is fulfilled with boutiques, a tourist boardwalk, Aragonese bastions, and a pleasant beach for walking.
At the Porto Conte’s park you will find the famous cliffs of Capo Caccia; for the adventurous, you can dive into the deep sea! The Coral Coast offers a variety of natural beauties, as well as the Neptune’s caves, accessible from the “Escala del Cabiról” or through a shuttle service, Cala Dragunara and the Fordada’s Island.
The interior can be visited for almost 600 meters, where you will find a lake and its amazing stalactites and stalagmites.
The Nereo’s cave is the most extended cave in Europe: by scuba-diving, you will dive 32 meters under water, and later come from an open 15 meters under water, after a 350 meter (long) path, between galleries and chambers.
There are a few other caves worth mentioning: Giglio, Falco, and the blue tunnel as well, which crosses the cliff of Cala della Barca and Cala Puntetta.
