ALGHERO - FULL DAY TRIP IN THE CATALAN TOWN OF SARDINIA
Joined 2020
One of Sardinia's most beautiful medieval cities, ALGHERO is the main resort in the northwest of the island. Permeating everything is a palpable Spanish atmosphere, a hangover of the city's past as a Catalan colony. Although largely given over to tourism (its population can almost quadruple in July and August), the town hasn't given up its unique character and it retains a proud and independent spirit.

Alghero
The center of this medieval town is not very big and permits to be visited in about 2/3 hours. There we will visit the cathedral located near the old Jewish area that was not a "ghetto" but an "aliama", after we'll tour the bastions where there are still displayed the old cannons. At the end we'll pass through the major shopping streets and if requested to visit the churches of San Francesco and San Michele.

About Tour Guide Matteo P.
I am a licensed tourist guide of the Sardinia Region with many years of experience and I always love to present and to show my island. I think it is a very beautiful and interesting place and it really deserves to be visited. At the university, I've studied sociolinguistics but as I am a native Sardinian, all my studies were mostly connected to Sardinia, which has a very special cultural and linguistic situation. Anyhow, beside its interesting history, culture and languages, Sardinia has the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean, plus and extraordinary variety of landscapes. I've worked as tour guide more than 30 years, before just as part time activity during the summer and now as a full time work, and even after so many years, I always enjoy to take the people around this beautiful and extraordinary island.

“Knowledgeable, warm hearted local!”
We can’t recommend Matteo enough. He’s a very knowledgeable local with a wonderful energy. He picked us up in the north of the island and he curated a custom agenda for us based on our interests and our requested final destination in the south of the island. He was also flexible- helping us add and modify the agenda as ideas come up! We had an incredible day and arrived safely in the south of the island for part two of our trip. What an incredible way to see and learn more of the island, rather than just driving straight from point A to point B!
