The port town in the north of the island, founded in 1910 veke, during the reign of the Spaniards called Barselonetta (little Barcelona). They speak Catalan as well as in Italian. Even street names are written in 2 languages. Alier has a rich history and architecture, the old part of town surrounded by medieval walls with towers and goes into a small port, where the luxury yachts moored. In town you can find a few churches, one of which is famous for its mosaic dome. On the streets of the reigns a great atmosphere, lots of shops, cafes and restaurants and night life just rayone port is in full swing. In addition to fashionable designer boutiques, to Cardinii there are many shops with ornaments, mostly of coral, as is so rich in this island.From the port and the beach have a great view on the rocks Kachchiya Capo (Capo Caccia), which are the most beautiful caves in Sardinia - Caves of Neptune (Grotto Nettuno). In the cave you can go down from the rocks on the 656 stairs to swim or an excursion boat, which we did. Caves just unusual, they are huge - they can fit 6-storey building - and thanks to the skilful lighting, stalactites and their reflection in the water creating an extraordinary world of glass ".Also, just outside Alier are vineyards that can be visited if arranged. Wines from these vineyards is the most popular on the island and even if you do not get there, then in any case, try it in local restaurants. Speaking of restaurants ... Even before the arrival on the island I learned about restorane Al Tuguri. The restaurant is small and must be booked in advance. Dinner for two to three courses (appetizer, main course and dessert) with a bottle of wine will cost you an average of 100 euros. But you will never forget the taste of seafood, tested there. Owner of the restaurant - famous chef - he will come to you to say hello and ask your opinion. Pribliziotelnoe menu, you can see on the website of the restaurant right now - www.altuguri.it / eng / index.phpClose
