Castelsardo holds a Doria fortress over the Asinara gulf, and its restaurants below the walls work lobster, crayfish, crab and sea urchin from the same water.
The Porto Conte regional park covers 60 kilometres of shore west of Alghero, taking in Capo Caccia, the Grotta di Nettuno and the farm kitchens of the Nurra.
Bosa stacks coloured houses above the river Temo an hour south of Alghero, and pours the sweet Malvasia that gives the surrounding Planargia its wine road.
Sassari sits 40 minutes inland from Alghero and eats differently, with favata bean stew and monzette snails cooked in batter around Piazza d'Italia.
