Alghero - there is something for everyone

There is something for everyone in and around Alghero. If beaches are your thing then you are in heaven as there are plenty of fantastic beaches in this area, some very deserted. The best include Porto Conte, La Pelosa, Porto Ferro and Bosa. You’ll need a car to access all of them but you will enjoy the drive too!! Speaking of which there are also wonderful drives, it goes without saying that you’ll need a car to enjoy a good drive but there are many sights to see.

The drive from Alghero to Bosa is stunning; the road hugs the cliffs with fantastic beaches around every bend. The drive from Alghero up to Stintino is very nice but different, going through a bit of a wilderness and then on to a rugged coastline. Walking around Alghero for an afternoon or day is very pleasant. It’s got some really old buildings and narrow winding streets and you might be glad to climb back into your car again a after a good wander!!! Sunset at Capo Caccio is an absolute must!! Capo Caccio is a stunning cape about a half hour drive from Alghero. They have a famous grotto here too, the Grotto Nettuna. The sunset from the cliffs is beautifully romantic.
