One of Sardinia's most beautiful medieval cities, Alghero is the main resort in the island's northwest and still retains its unique character and proud, independent spirit. A palpable Spanish atmosphere lingers throughout the city, reflecting its past as a Catalan colony, while the animated historic centre offers a wonderful setting of cobbled lanes, Gothic palazzi, and lively piazzas. This excursion also takes in the beaches and beauty spots of the nearby Riviera del Corallo, the magnificent Cave of Neptune, the spectacular cliffs of Capo Caccia, and the magnificent 12th-century Romanesque Basilica of Saccargia, one of the most beautiful churches in northern Sardinia.

Enclosed by robust, honey-coloured seawalls, this is a tightly knit enclave of shady cobbled lanes, Gothic palazzi, and cafe-lined piazzas.
