🇬🇧 Neptune's Grotto, under Capo Caccia: 654 steps down the Escala del Cabirol, opened 1954. Before it, the only way in was by boat. 🇮🇹 Grotta di Nettuno: 654 gradini dell'Escala del Cabirol, dal 1954. Prima si arrivava solo in barca. #Alghero #Sardinia #GrottaDiNettuno 📸 Jürgen Scheeff / Unsplash

The interior of Neptune's Grotto (Grotta di Nettuno) at the foot of Capo Caccia near Alghero, north-western Sardinia. A tall limestone column rises from the still, dark water of Lago Lamarmora, a saltwater lake at sea level; stalactites hang from the ceiling and the walls are lit warm orange on the left and cold white on the right.

🇬🇧 La Pelosa, an hour north of Alghero. The tower on the islet is a Spanish watchtower — a document from 1578 already lists it as needing repairs. 🇮🇹 La Pelosa, un'ora da Alghero: la torre spagnola era già da riparare nel 1578. #Alghero #Sardinia #LaPelosa #Beach 📸 Roberto Baciga / Pexels

Shallow turquoise sea at La Pelosa beach near Stintino, north-western Sardinia, about 45 km from Alghero. The white sandy seabed shows through the clear water; on a low islet in the background stands the Torre della Pelosa, a truncated-cone Spanish coastal watchtower of pale stone, documented by 1578.

🇬🇧 Alghero's coast is the "Coral Riviera" — its harbor is full of sailboats, a good base to explore toward Capo Caccia. 🇮🇹 La costa di Alghero è la "Riviera del Corallo" — il porto è pieno di barche a vela, base per esplorare verso Capo Caccia. #Alghero #Sardinia #yachts 📸 K. Fichtner/Pexels

Three sailboats moored side by side in Alghero's marina, their masts — white, red and blue — rising against a clear sky, with the town's rooftops visible in the background.

🇬🇧 Alghero's old town alleys were built narrow for shade & defense under 14th-century Catalan-Aragonese rule. 🇮🇹 I vicoli del centro storico di Alghero furono costruiti stretti per ombra e difesa sotto il dominio catalano-aragonese del XIV secolo. #Alghero #Sardinia #Restaurant 📸 Alp Ancel/Unsplash
