This beautiful fortified town benefits greatly from its seaside location, its Catalan heritage and its special connection with red coral. The old town of Alghero stretches out across the bay, with its seafront promenade and white houses. The old town, with its cobbled streets, churches and perfectly maintained palaces, exudes incredible charm, despite being a popular tourist destination. Souvenir shops, bars, restaurants and museums line the streets in a manner typical of Sardinia. The old town remains beautiful and pleasant nonetheless. Finally, Alghero is the ultimate romantic destination, perfect for admiring the sun setting over the sea from the ramparts. Magical!
