Alghero is on the North West coast of Sardinia and though it was colonized in the mid 14th century by the Spanish it still retains its Italian influences with fortified walls and a network of narrow streets surrounding the harbour. The narrow streets are mostly free of vehicles and so visitors can relax and enjoy the numerous café’s, restaurants and shops. Being a harbour town, Alghero prides itself on its freshly caught seafood.Located close to Alghero are plentiful places of interest including Grotta di Nettuno, the abandoned mine at Argentiera and Anghelu Ruju.
