VIAJES NALANDA: Alghero, Sardinia

Alghero, Sardinia Italy

Alghero is one of Sardinia’s most beautiful cities. Due to its gorgeous beaches it has become a very popular holiday resort with herds of tourist arriving every summer. Yet it has managed to keep its unique character and its charming atmosphere. The narrow streets of the old city, named Barcelonetta due to the island’s Catalan past, are crowded on the peninsula surrounded by a fortified bastion. Walking through this medieval world, visitors will discover the striking cathedral, built in the 16th century in Catalan-Gothic style. The church of San Francesco has a beautiful Gothic interior and a small golden cloister. From the cute little fishing port, below the city walls, boats depart towards the Grotta di Nettuno or Neptune's Caves, one of the island’s most spectacular attractions. But undoubtedly the main attraction of Alghero is wandering around its streets, discovering its charming spots while contemplating the sunset that bathes the Mediterranean in warm glowing light.
