 SirRichard Says:  There are many boats at the local harbour offering daytrips in the northern coast of the area. You can go snorkeling, visit the further beaches or visit the Neptuno Caves. In most of them lunch is included. You can make reservations at the harbour the previuos evening. 

 SirRichard Says:  This is one of the little remains of the inland city walls. It is a round tower at the entrance of the old town. Nowadays it houses some exhibitions and a souvenir shop. In front of it you can find the tourist info. 

 SirRichard Says:  The seaside of Alghero is surrounded by city walls. The inner part of the wall has been destroyed due to expansion of the city, but the sea walls are well preserved and walking along there in sunset is a wonderful experience (during the day is too hot).
