Alghero, Cape Caccia and the Mystic Grottoes of Neptune

Alghero is a large city located on the west coast of Sardinia. It is popular with tourists because of its amazing architecture. Alghero has several names. The first - "little Barcelona" - the city owes the era of Spanish rule, from which the locals adopted culture, traditions and language. In fact, even the street names are in Catalan. The second name is “the city of light” because of the white walls of the houses. And the third is the coral city. The living stones mined in the Alghero area are among the most valuable due to their high quality and intense red coloration. Well, and shops with coral jewelry you will meet literally at every step.

Before exploring the center of Alghero, you will visit the famous grottoes of Neptune, where you can go, if you wish, by boat or car. The boat will take you to the Hunting Cape and you will disembark right at the grotto. In case you eat by car, you will need to go down to the grottoes by stairs. But the views here are magnificent. The grottoes themselves are a network of corridors decorated with stalactites and stalagmites. While visiting the grotto, you will be accompanied by a professional guide who will tell you many interesting things about the origin and development of this place.

Then you will return to the center of Alghero for a walking tour of the city. You will undoubtedly enjoy its narrow streets and beautiful palaces, churches with colorful domes and ancient towers with panoramic platforms. In your free time you can go for a walk along the coast or shopping. We advise you to visit the boutique of fashion designer Antonio Marras, who was born and raised in Alghero, and then became famous all over the world, thanks to his talent. Lunch you can in one of the restaurants of Alghero, where you will prepare delicious dishes based on fish and seafood.
