Cagliari

This post will be about Cagliari, my hometown.

For the ones that don't know about it, Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia. It is a nice town, cosy, small enough for not being chaotic and big enough for getting most of the thing you might want.
Cagliari, in Italy, is known as la città del Sole, the city of the Sun, because it is always warm and sunny even in winter.



This first picture is taken from the boat that takes you from Civitavecchia (Rome) to Cagliari. You can see the port and the via Roma, the main street in Cagliari. Above via Roma there is the old town with the Castle.



Cagliari, from the Castle

This picture is taken from the top of the castle in a part called Cittadella dei Musei, that is a part of the castle that hosts some museums. From here you can see, far on the right, the Sella del Diavolo (Devil's seat) an hill near the wonderful and huge beach Poetto.



And these two pictures are taken in the Poetto beach. You might now believe it but it was January!!!! And I was just wearing T-shirt!!!!! The weather was just fantastic that day considering it was "winter". Anyway, this is a very big beach more than 10 Kms long. People here call it the 100.000 beach, beacause it is calculated that everyday more than 100 000 persons go there. It is very close to the city, from many parts of the town you can just walk there.

Ok, that's it for now!! I hope you got some clue about Cagliari. Maybe I'll write another post later.
