The Times, one of the oldest (the foundation dates back to the 18th century) and prestigious British newspapers, celebrates the beauties of Cagliari.

And, in an article dedicated to travel, he invites his readers to visit what is defined as a "magical Italian city without crowds and where it is warm even in winter".

«The Sardinian capital – writes the reporter Alex Sakalis – still exerts a powerful spell on those who visit it. The historic center, with its crumbling palaces and daunting Pisan fortifications, is perfect for a romantic stroll , with elevated views over the city and its network of lagoons (and if you're lucky, you might even see flamingos flying). Add – the article continues – a mixture of baroque churches, Art Nouveau houses, sandy beaches and an eccentric cuisine, unique in Sardinia, and the net result is a sort of other Mediterranean world, strangely familiar and absolutely unique, suitable for those who are looking for a winter holiday."

The piece from The Times also recommends what to visit in the capital during a two-day tour: the Castello district, the Exma, the Molentargius pond, Sa Manifattura and, naturally, the beach of the Poetto , for a «sun break for those who want something different from the traditional Italian city».
