Alghero, also known as Little Barcelona for having preserved the use of Catalan by its inhabitants, is among the main gateways to Sardinia thanks to the nearby airport at Fertilia.
Baia di Porto Conte, a natural inlet on the Coral Riviera, is enclosed by the karst promontories of Capo Caccia and Punta Giglio and overlooks the Alghero roadstead. The coast is formed by inlets, cliffs, and the long sandy beach of Pineta Mugoni.
Capo Caccia is an imposing limestone promontory that overlooks the Alghero roadstead, and with Punta Giglio, Alghero’s other limestone promontory, encloses the large gulf of Porto Conte. The Capo Caccia meteorological station resides here, and because of its strategic location it is equipped with a lighthouse, which at 186 meters high is one of the most visible from a distance in the entire Mediterranean and all of Italy.
