Shopping in the Old Town
Alghero is full of designer clothes shops - both for men and women. Every little street seems to have at least one classy Italian clothes shop on it. Don’t think they are all called Saldi - that is Italian for “Sale” - and all of them seemed to have a “Sale” on. Even with the prices cut supposedly by 50% - many were above my budget. Most of the people strolling on the streets were well dressed - not a football shirt in sight. Most of the visitors in Alghero seemed to be Italian - with a scattering of Irish, English and Germans or Scandanavians. Not a drunken lout or any sign of bad behaviour at all. For a relaxed , peaceful holiday - Alghero is ideal. If you want all day fried breakfasts , happy hours and discos till 4am - then stay away…..please.
