Alghero launches year-round tourism strategy

The Fondazione Alghero has launched a strategic initiative to transform Alghero and the Riviera del Corallo into a year-round tourist destination. The plan focuses on establishing a continuous calendar of cultural events spanning from November through Easter.

Key components of the project include an exploratory notice for the 2026-2027 Cap d’Any celebrations, featuring concerts, theater, dance, gospel, and literary initiatives between November 20 and January 10. The city's historic center will also host a renovated Christmas village starting December 20, with themed evening shows planned for various squares and bastions.

To support this seasonal expansion, the foundation is proposing new logistical connections, including a winter shuttle service between Alghero, Sassari, and the Olbia airport. President Graziano Porcu stated that the goal is to create the actual conditions necessary for Alghero to function as a twelve-month destination rather than just declaring the intent.
