Our last full day in Alghero, and the halfway point in our travels. It is sunny and warm so we headed north in the Fiat, first to the lighthouse at Faro di Capo Caccia and then for a seven km hike to the point at Punta Giglio.
Alghero has been a delight. The old town is beautiful, whether out on the streets or sitting in a cafe on one of the many squares. The shops and cafes feature exposed stone and arched ceilings and pretty window displays. It is also well lit at night, with many streets having decorative birdcages hung overhead.

The apartment on via Carlo Alberto is spacious and comfortable and fully equipped. Great location, too, though the views are limited as the streets are so narrow.

We drove out to this point, just north of town, with the intention of hiking to the lighthouse. We found it closed off, however, so we took a few photos and headed to another place to hike.

One of many defensive towers that are sprinkled along the coast. We saw similar towers on the west coast of Corsica. This one is in the process of being restored.
