The Alghero City Guides answer the questions that come up on every trip here: where to order lobster the Catalan way without a nasty surprise on the bill, how to reach Neptune’s Grotto and Capo Caccia, which bay beaches suit small children and where to drink Sardinian wine after sunset on the sea walls. Each guide is a short, honest list that tells you why a place is worth it, what to order or see and one useful tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Ristorante Mabrouk
Via Santa Barbara, old town
There is no menu to read: the kitchen sends out around ten fish courses in a row, from marinated starters to a whole fish and crema catalana, with house wine on the table. Come hungry. From the food guide.
Church of Saint Michael
Largo San Francesco, old town
The dome of yellow, green and red majolica tiles is the shape you will spot from every corner of Alghero. Admire it from the square first; inside is a plain baroque church. From the things to do guide.
Spiaggia di Mugoni
Inside Porto Conte bay, 13 km west
Calm, clear water deep in a sheltered bay, with pine trees behind the sand for free shade and small fish in the shallows. A beach bar at the entrance takes care of lunch. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Alghero
Day one: walk the sea walls and towers, see the cloister of San Francesco, then take a spritz on the bastions and eat in the lanes behind them. Day two: drive out to Capo Caccia, walk down the cliff stairs to Neptune’s Grotto and swim at Mugoni in the Porto Conte bay. For a rainy or slow day, mix the Coral Museum and the archaeology museum with a long farm lunch north of town and an evening in a wine bar.
