Excursions and nature walks.<\/strong> Spring is the ideal time to enjoy the landscapes of the Riviera del Corallo. The mild temperatures are perfect for excursions along the coast:<\/strong> there are many trails of varying difficulty in the Porto Conte Park area, a true oasis of biodiversity<\/strong> that will surprise you with exuberant blooms in this season. At Punta Giglio, you can admire the white Pancratium illyricum to which this wonderful limestone promontory owes its name<\/em><\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss the Neptune Caves<\/strong>, a natural wonder accessible by boat or on foot via the Escala del Cabirol, an impressive staircase of 654 steps.<\/p>\n

Visit to the historic center.<\/strong> With its cobbled streets and medieval buildings, the historic center is able to offer a true journey back in time. In spring, walking through the alleys lined with artisan shops and cafes offers unforgettable views. <\/p>\n

We recommend visiting the Cathedral of Santa Maria and walking along the ramparts surrounding the old town, then getting lost in the shaded streets and enjoying some specialties in the restaurants in the center.<\/p>\n

Participate in Holy Week.<\/strong> If you visit Alghero during Easter, don’t miss the traditional ceremonies of Holy Week. The processions, steeped in spirituality and Catalan traditions, are an event to be experienced. More information on the Fondazione Alghero website<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, where the program of the event is also published every year. <\/p>\n

Alghero is one of the most popular summer tourist resorts in Sardinia. It is therefore not surprising that many tourists choose to visit it in July and August, but even in these months it is possible to enjoy peace and tranquility. Just don’t be too lazy and prepare your activities in advance.<\/p>\n

Here are our suggestions:<\/p>\n

Relaxing on the beaches? Start exploring alternatives<\/strong> In the surroundings of Alghero you can find everything: from beaches perfect for families, such as Maria Pia<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, to wilder locations appreciated by sportsmen and surfers, such as Porto Ferro.<\/em><\/strong><\/a> It is important to consider which way the wind is blowing and adjust accordingly. But one thing is certain: with a little patience you will be able to find your favorite beach, choosing between equipped beaches and semi-deserted coves. For example, between Fertilia and the renowned Le Bombarde beach there are small, rarely frequented bays, as well as in the Porto Conte area.<\/p>\n

Diving and snorkeling <\/strong>The sea around Alghero is a true paradise for lovers of diving and snorkeling. To discover the wonders of Porto Conte, the best thing to do is to plan an excursion with a qualified operator who will be able to guide you to the most unexplored and suggestive corners, such as Sea Experience Sardinia.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Unforgettable Sunsets <\/strong>For a magical evening, there is nothing better than enjoying a sunset. Whether you choose the Bastioni or decide to push on to Punta Giglio or Capo Caccia, you will be able to admire the colours of the sky blending with those of the sea, creating a romantic and tranquil atmosphere.<\/p>\n

In autumn, tourist pressure decreases and temperatures drop, allowing you to combine different activities.<\/p>\n

In Alghero it is not uncommon to swim until the beginning of November, but at the same time the mild climate allows you to plan a very varied holiday full of activities. Here are some examples.<\/p>\n

Tasting of wines and typical products.<\/strong> Autumn is the perfect time to discover local wines, taste new oil or some dairy products. You could also enjoy a selection of typical dishes by choosing a local farmhouse or by intercepting one of the many autumn festivals<\/strong> organized in the surrounding towns.<\/p>\n

Visit the archaeological sites.<\/strong> Alghero is home to some important archaeological sites, such as the Nuraghe Palmavera and the Necropolis of Anghelo Ruju.<\/p>\n

A few kilometers away is also the megalithic complex of Monte Baranta<\/em><\/strong>,<\/a> located in the municipality of Olmedo, and the amazing Altar\/Sanctuary of Monte d’Accoddi<\/strong><\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Visiting these fascinating sites will give you a deeper understanding of the uniqueness of Sardinia.<\/p>\n

Finally, as in spring, also in autumn it is worth organizing some excursions to explore the beauties of the Porto Conte Park.<\/strong><\/p>\n
