Alghero
Villa Las Tronas mirrored in the sea, Alghero
A treasure among the coral
Alghero is a Sardinian city with a clear Catalonian influence. It underwent Spanish colonisation for a lengthy period of time which left its mark on the town’s architecture, traditions, its typical cuisine like the famous “aragosta alla catalana” (Catalonian-style Lobster) and above all on the local language, to such an extent that the people of Alghero have a strong sense of belonging to the culture of their motherland.

FertiliaSituated a few kilometres from Alghero, the hamlet of Fertilia has recently become the Island’s gateway for tourism thanks to its airport which the low-cost airlines with destination Sardinia, have favoured as their disembarkation point.
ArgentieraMany places in Sardinia lead back to the history of the old mines. At Argentiera, not far from the modern village of Palmadula, the Romans and Pisans dedicated long periods to the extraction of the precious metal which gives its name to the area.
