 Alghero: another side to Sardinia
Alghero is located on the north-western coast of the island, and is a city abounding in Spanish influences: in its vicinity are some of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the whole of Sardinia, with sandy bays bordered by lush vegetation. The destination offers resort hotels overlooking the Mediterranean, and sea- and land-based activities, with the advantage of an international airport just ten minutes away. In June, Alghero will play host to The Venue Italia Workshop, a three-day showcase of Italian suppliers dedicated to international buyers. |
