Holidays to Alghero are all about sandy beaches, old Italian charm and a tasty mix of Sardinian and Catalan cuisine.
Old and new
This Mediterranean beauty's nestled on the north-east coast of Sardinia, an island belonging to Italy – and it's got ancient credentials. Its first settlers, the Ozieris, made it their home over 6,000 years ago. Nowadays, Alghero's a bustling town with a cobbled centre and plenty of gotta-go-back restaurants and bars.
Grand grotto
Stick romantic Neptune’s Grotto on your list of places to visit. This vast system of caves is crowded with softly lit stalactites and stalagmites, and there's a spooky chamber with a dark, underground lake. It's half an hour's drive outside Alghero – or 45 minutes if you travel by boat.
Traces of Catalan rule
Hemmed in by 16th-century walls, Alghero's packed with charming remnants of its life as a Catalan colony. The eagle-eyed will notice street signs in Italian and Catalan, as well as taste bud-tingling fusion food. Spanish tapas alongside a crusty Italian pizza make for an enjoyable meal.
