Nov. 25 – It’s impossible not disdain “lu sole, lu mare, lu ientu,” that are Puglia’s finest qualities. The mysterious caves of Gargano, the sunny fields of the plains, the trulli in Alberobellom the fabulous beaches of Salento, the olive groves, vineyards, the artistic, historical and cultural scene from Brindisi to Taranto and Lecce. Puglia is admired and known all over the world, as the Best Trips ranking for next year compiled by National Geographic confirms. Puglia is one of the top entries globally. The extraordinary importance of this success is reflected also Lonely Planet’s annual Best Value Travel Destinations 2014 ranking, in which Puglia ranks second. In the wake of the many articles that have appeared in recent months on major newspapers and magazines in the US, Australia, India and Europe, the New York Post recently published a report entitled “Italy ‘s Magical Puglia Region,” which depicts a magical painting of Italy’s heel.
