Alghero

There are a lot of historic places. There is grot of Neptun, and a lot of places in the center of Sardinia such as Nuragics...
Nuragic Culture (XVII Cent. B.C. - IX Cent. B.C.). There are more than 7000 nuraghi in Sardinia.
Nuragic religion was naturalistic, and water cults were extremely important, which
explains the presence of well temples.
The "Tombs of the Giants" were megalithic graves, whereas "bronzetti" are characteristic decorative or "ex-voto"
small bronze statues, which portray different subjects (warriors, animals, votive boats...).

Alghero

Alghero is situated on the shores of a beautiful bay on the north-west coast of Sardinia. It′s the tourist capital of the Coral Riviera. Alghero′s international fame is due mostly to the intelligent and rational exploitation of the incomparable beauties of its unspoilt landscape and the excellent organisation of incoming tourism. Land and sea offer magnificent views along the 75 kilometres of coastline which stretches from the limestone promontory of Capo Caccia to the north, to the beach of La Speranza to the south.Here there is all that you can expect for a relaxing holiday; silver beaches, breathtaking cliffs, indented rocky coastline, lovely coves and superb marine caves. A Catalan town in Sardinia, Catalan because of its past under the Aragonese rule; architecture, the city walls, the towers and the Gothic Aragonese bell tower proves it. The people here are dedicated lovers of their sea. Fishing boats and pleasure craft crowd the colourful harbour. The crystalline sea is ideal for coral and lobster fishing (only for those allowed to). The surrounding area is of archaeological and natural interest, for example visits to the Nuraghe of Palmavera, to the Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju, to Monte Doglia and Porto Conte are all worthwhile - a paradise for the photo-fanatic. Wandering along the country paths amidst the Mediterranean bush you come across very rare examples of vegetation. It is also possible to spot magnificent examples of fauna such as the griffon, the fallow deer, the albino donkey and even the moufflon which all live in protected areas and make up but a few of the attractions of this extraordinary Mediterranean habitat. The Neptune Caves with their impressive caverns of natural "lace work" of stalactites and stalagmites, dripping vaults and saline waters create an unreal world in the island′s most beautiful and famous caves. Any time of year is the right time to come here - Alghero is always impressive for those who want to enjoy the beauty of this magic town.

Sardinia

Sardinia, the second largest island in the Mediterranean, is located approximately 100 miles from the Italian mainland and an almost identical distance from the coast of North Africa. Because of this location in the center of the Mediterranean trade routes, it was invaded and colonized by a succession of powers. Greeks, Romans and Phoenicians came early on, and traces of their civilizations can be found in ruins of Carthaginian colonies at Nora, the Phoenician temple at Tharros near Oristano, and in the remains of Roman villages strung along the coast. Vandals, Byzantines and Arabs looted and destroyed the colonies, while in the middle ages the maritime republics of Pisa and Genoa battled for supremacy, followed by the Spanish and the Austrians. Today the towers and ramparts of the Genovese and Spanish, the elegant Romanesque churches of the Pisans as well as impressive examples of Gothic and Baroque architecture remain.

Sardinia’s first inhabitants were the Nuraghic people, thought to have arrived from the eastern Mediterranean around 2000 BC. Traces of their civilization are visible throughout the island: thousands of nuraghi, mysterious conical shaped houses and fortresses that are unique to Sardinia. Built of huge stones joined without mortar, some are like medieval castles, with a tall central tower and two or three rings of defensive walls. Su Nuraxi, just outside the town of Barumini and dating from 1500 BC, is the oldest as well as the largest complex, most likely a palace or even the capital. Thought to have been covered with earth by Sards and Carthaginians at the time of the Roman conquest, it was not discover-ed until 1949 and remains in an excellent state of preservation. Bronze statuettes and domestic objects left by this civilization can be seen at the museum in Cagliari.

A mountainous island with hills and narrow highlands, Sardinia has a spectacular jagged coastline, interspersed with pristine beaches of fine sand, rocky inlets and secluded coves ideal for snorkeling. The world famous Costa Smeralda is the major resort area, while the lovely beaches near Alghero, with its Spanish ambience, attract visitors as well. Throughout Sardinia’s history of upheaval, the islanders retreated to the inland mountains, where many of them remain today, raising sheep and growing grapes on terraced mountain terrain. Here Sardinian folk culture is expressed in dance, handicrafts and native dress.

Sheepherding and fishing have always been central to the economy of Sardinia, so many of the specialties feature lamb, sheep’s cheese, and fish. Bottarga, pressed mullet roe, is sliced paper thin and drizzled with Sardinian olive oil as an antipasto, or tossed onto malloreddus, tiny ridged dumplings, as a first course. Typical breads include the thin and crispy pane carasau and carta da musica, which become pane frattau when combined with eggs and tomatoes. Soups are hearty: zuppa cuatta, made with lamb and Pecorino cheese and baked, is a perfect example. Cagliari is famous for its burrida, fish poached in an aromatic broth with onion, carrot, celery, parsley, and lemon, then served with a flavorful garlic sauce stretched with mild vinegar and thickened with crushed pine nuts or walnuts. Meat is typically roasted, often on aromatic wood; the spit-roasted suckling pig is outstanding, as is trattaglia arrustica, lamb liver grilled on wild olive branches. Desserts include pabassine, a pastry rich with dried fruit and redolent with orange, and sebadas, large round ravioli that are filled with Pecorino and grated lemon or orange zest, then fried and drizzled with warm slightly bitter honey from strawberry plants. Do try a glass of liquore su mirtu, a myrtle liquor, after dinner, and Vermentino di Sardegna, Torbato, Nuragus, Connonau, Monica, or Anghelu Ruju with dinner.
