Alghero is tucked away on the north-west coast of Sardinia.  The Italians seem to have been happy to keep this beauty spot to themselves.  Alghero remains mostly unspoilt by tourism and certainly away from the crowds of holiday makers.

There is a medieval town which is absolutely gorgeous with a great fishing port where you must sample some of the restaurants for the locally caught fish.  Of course, Alghero is famous for the watchtowers that surround the medieval town.  These are definitely worth a visit and getting a hire car in Alghero is must to make your holiday even more special.

The island of Sardinia was actually invaded by Catalans during the 14th century which has led to an interesting blend of cuisines and traditions in the area.  Even the street signs are bilingual!
