Anyone who can’t return from a trip without a special new find can relax: a shopping tour in Alghero will be a success. In the old town, you'll find both high-end boutiques from world-famous designers and more affordable brands like Mango and United Colors of Benetton.
According to reviews about shopping in Alghero, you definitely should buy a gourmet souvenir: olive oil, local wine — everything Sardinia's coast is famous for.
The main highlight and symbol of this town is coral, so be sure to take some as a gift. From soft peach to bright red — there are plenty to choose from, just find one to suit your taste and budget. Based on travelers’ reviews, be cautious: there’s a lot of cheap jewelry with fake Taiwanese coral, so it’s better to pay more for a genuine piece.
Don’t look for shopping malls in Alghero, where most things are generic; instead, visit Agostino Marogna on Piazza Civica 34, where unique items are crafted.
