Alghero

The city by the sea, countryside beyond

Alghero unfolds through walks along its bastions, lanes and coral workshops, with the sea on the horizon. Capo Caccia opens towards the cliffs; the road to Bosa introduces Planargia’s vineyards and western villages. A setting for those drawn to the connection between town life, culture and nature.

The maritime town and landscapes of the west

In Alghero, the sea is part of the town’s fabric: the bastions, harbour and historic lanes form a landscape to explore on foot. Coral workshops reveal a craft tradition woven into local identity. Beyond town, Capo Caccia and its cliffs change the scale of the journey, opening a perspective between rock, vegetation and the sea.

The editorial journey broadens towards Bosa and Planargia. Houses beside the Temo, Malvasia vineyards and villages such as Modolo and Tinnura suggest another way of exploring the west. Inland, Santu Lussurgiu brings basalt lanes together with traditional crafts. A home on this coast can favour town life or a quieter setting, while maintaining a connection with the wider area.
