Alghero's fame is due mostly to the incomparable beauty of its unspoilt landscape. Land and sea offer magnificent views along the 75 km of coastline that stretches from the limestone promontory of Capo Caccia to the North and the beach of La Speranza on the South. Here is all that you can expect for a relaxing holiday; silver beaches, breathtaking cliffs, indented rocky coastline, lovely coves and superb marine caves.
Alghero, ancient feudal territory of the Genoese, was colonized towards the middle of the 14th century by the Catalani family, who called it "Barceloneta", little Barcelona, giving it mighty fortifications that still characterize its landscape.
Today, after more than six centuries, this beautiful city on the Riviera del Corallo still retains the architecture, folklore and the language of its Catalan forefathers.
