Most of Alghero’s sights are in the lively citadel, where bars and restaurants spill out on to the car-free streets. Seven defensive towers divide the old and new towns; the 14th-century Porta Terra is a good starting point. The key building, though, is the Catalan-Gothic Cathedral (piazza Duomo), at the junction of via Roma and via Umberto. Nearby, in similar style, is the 16th-century Palazzo Albis (piazza Civica), once home to Alghero’s governors. The restored 14th-century Chiesa di San Francesco (via Carlo Alberto) is the city’s most enchanting church.

Culinary Catalan touches include paella and crema catalana. Alghero has its own wines and Anghelu Rùju, a delicious port. The citadel has plenty of restaurants. For typical Sardinian food, Osteria Taverna Paradiso (via Principe Umberto 29, 079 978001) boasts a fine selection of local cheeses. Il Pavone (Piazza Sulis 3, 079 979 584) has an innovative menu, including a superb squid-ink pasta. For pizza by the metre, Poco Loco (via Gramsci 9, 079 973 1034) has ten-pin bowling and live music on Friday nights.
