Fly to Alghero: where Italy and Spain merge 

Join us on our flight us to Alghero, a city on the northwest coast of Sardinia. This is where the charm of Italy merges with Spanish influences. If you listen closely, you can even hear the people speak Catalan! The urban architecture, the food and the street signs show that same mixture. Start off your adventure in the old city. Walk along the high walls and discover the narrow streets that are just brimming with life. Have an ice cream or enjoy a glass of local wine in one of the cosy restaurants. Need a day of relaxation? Spread out your towel on the soft sand of Lido di San Giovanni, near the city centre. If you’re looking for adventure, take a boat tour into the caves of Neptune or visit the Porto Conte natural park.
