Alghero at a glance
Pintadera Centro Mediterraneo is in Alghero (Sardegna). Outside the classroom this is where the language gets practised: at the coffee counter, in the square, at the market.
Events this year
The city's big festivals, food fairs and cultural seasons through the year. They're not just entertainment: they're the best training ground for your Italian. At a local festival you end up ordering, asking directions, chatting with locals: the real language, the kind books don't teach. If you can, line up a week of your course with one of these.
Settimana Santa algherese In Alghero Holy Week follows the Spanish rite, with hooded confraternities and singing in Catalan. A piece of Spain in Sardinia: fascinating for understanding just how varied Italy is. | Easter |
Cap d'Any de l'Alguer Alghero's New Year is celebrated in the square with concerts and fireworks, and the name stays in Catalan. An informal, crowded evening, excellent for everyday Italian. | December–January |
Festa de Sant Miquel In September the town celebrates its patron saint with a procession, a band and stalls in the old centre. A heartfelt, untouristy festival: perfect for hearing how locals really speak. | September |
