Alghero

Alghero is a coastal city of around 45,000 people located in northwestern Sardinia, Italy. Its name, historically derived from a medieval Latin term referencing local algae, hints at the city’s deep connection to the Mediterranean Sea. What truly sets Alghero apart is its unique cultural heritage – a lasting legacy of centuries under the Crown of Aragon.

This influence is most evident in the locally spoken Algherese dialect, a variant of Catalan officially recognized as a minority language. Beyond its linguistic distinctiveness, Alghero offers a balanced lifestyle with a growing student population thanks to the University of Sassari’s Architecture and Design department, making it a dynamic and interesting base for digital nomads.
