Alghero, the beautiful town of the Coral Riviera, is a perfect destination in every season, but in spring it offers a unique mix of mild climate, lush nature, and cultural events. Here are some unmissable activities for those visiting Alghero during this time of year.

Explore the Historic Center without the Crowds

In spring, Alghero’s old town is much quieter than in summer, letting visitors fully enjoy its cobblestone streets, Aragonese walls, and historic buildings.
You can stroll along the Bastioni Marco Polo, visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria, and relax at outdoor cafés.
Sunset from the walls, with the sun dipping into the sea, is breathtaking.
For a more evocative experience, visit the Church of San Francesco with its beautiful Gothic-Catalan cloister, or the Coral Museum. Local craft shops offer coral jewelry and ceramics—perfect authentic souvenirs.

Discover Neptune’s Grotto

Spring is the ideal time to visit the spectacular Neptune’s Grotto. It can be reached by a mini-cruise from Alghero’s port or via a scenic stairway of 654 steps with breathtaking views of the crystal-clear sea.
During the boat trip, you’ll admire the towering Capo Caccia cliffs and the untouched coastline, while the cave’s stalactites and stalagmites will amaze you.
If you choose the stairway, the experience becomes even more adventurous, offering panoramic views as you descend toward the sea.

Go Trekking in Porto Conte Natural Park

With perfect weather for outdoor activities, the regional park offers many trails surrounded by nature.
You can hike the Cala Barca Path, visit Monte Timidone, or explore the wild Porto Ferro Bay.
Along the routes, you might spot protected species like griffon vultures and peregrine falcons, and Mediterranean vegetation fills the air with unique scents.
Some paths also lead to archaeological sites such as Nuraghe Palmavera, a testimony to this land’s ancient history.

Enjoy the Beaches Without Crowds

Although the sea may still be cool, Alghero’s beaches in spring are perfect for sunbathing or long walks.
Among the most beautiful are Maria Pia (with sand dunes and pinewoods), Mugoni (within the nature park), and La Speranza (ideal for tranquillity).
Don’t miss the lovely beaches of Le Bombarde and Lazzaretto with their crystal-clear waters and golden sands.
For a wilder landscape, Porto Ferro—with its golden sand and surf-friendly waves—offers a unique, unspoiled atmosphere.
In this season, beaches are less crowded, allowing you to fully enjoy the landscape and the sound of the waves, especially at sunset.

Take Part in Local Events and Festivals

Spring is also a time of interesting cultural and gastronomic events.
One of the most evocative celebrations is Holy Week in Alghero, with processions and Spanish-origin rites.
There are also food festivals dedicated to local products like Uri artichokes and Nurra wine, and many music and art festivals enliven the city.
Tastings of cheeses, honey, and olive oil offer a chance to discover authentic regional flavors.

Taste Local Flavors

In spring, try Catalan-style lobster, fregola with seafood, fresh sea urchins, and Sardinian Vermentino wine—preferably in a restaurant with sea views.
For an even more authentic experience, visit one of the historic trattorie in the center or take a wine tasting at a local winery.
Traditional sweets like seadas with honey are the perfect ending to a culinary journey through Sardinian traditions. 

Take a Day Trip to Asinara or Argentiera

If you have time, plan a day trip to the island of Asinara, a natural paradise with turquoise waters and protected wildlife.
You can explore it by jeep, bike, or even kayak, enjoying breathtaking views and spotting the famous wild white donkeys.
Visiting the former maximum-security prison lets you discover the island’s fascinating and mysterious history.
Asinara offers splendid trekking trails, hidden coves like Cala Sabina and Cala d’Oliva, and crystal-clear waters perfect for a refreshing swim.
Don’t forget to try local products like honey and cheese from Asinara, made from its pristine nature.

Discover the authentic Alghero in spring, surrounded by nature, history, and relaxation.
