In first place Oria, then Mola di Bari and Gravina
“Puglia’s secret side”, the hidden part of Puglia. The English journalist Charlotte Egglestone-Johnstone chose this title for her article published on one of the online pages of the Sunday Times, the famous English newspaper. After twenty years of holidays in Puglia, you have decided to dedicate a page to the celebration of 10 locations outside the classic tourist circuits. “So much admiration for the “usual places,” – he writes – Alberobello (“I never fail to bring a friend there”), Monopoli (with “afternoon entertainment found in its old streets”), or Ostuni (“for the shopping and the views “)”. But she chooses ten locations including Trani, defined as the “pearl of Puglia” where she demonstrates that she has stayed and also tasted delicacies in some of the city’s restaurants. In the piece, Ecclestone talks about enchanting cities in Puglia that are not well known abroad, including Oria, Mola di Bari, Gravina and also Canosa, Putignano, Conversano and Altamura. But the article also mentions Maglie and Castro. Locations that have been able to attract not only through their undisputed beauty, but also through an impeccable welcome with the offer of efficient services, as underlined by the journalist who with English humor suggests not to spread the news too much so as not to ruin the beauty of a hidden and therefore special Puglia.
