Trani es conocida como "la perla del sur" de Italia. Es una ciudad dónde el puerto es el protagonista y la catedral normanda parece estar flotando sobre el Adriático. Yo la visité por la tarde-noche y disfruté de una cena espectacular en un lugar surrealista, con las mejores vistas del puerto. Os podéis imaginar cenar en la azotea de una casa construida en una iglesia templaria??? Resulta que hace años la Iglesia de Ognissanti vendió un trozo a la familia de mis anfitriones, que constuyeron su original casa aprovechando parte de los muros templarios, así que básicamente su ducha es un absidiolo! Aprovecho para agradecerles la invitación a este lugar privilegiado.

Trani is known as "the pearl of the south" of Italy. It's a port city dominated by the Norman cathedral, which looks like it's floating on the Adriatic sea. I visited it in the evening and enjoyed a spectacular dinner in a surreal location with an amazing view of the port. Can you imagine having dinner at the rooftop of a house built in a Templar church??? Many years back, part of the Chiesa di Ognissanti was sold to my hosts family, who have built their original house sharing walls with the church, so basically they shower in an apse! I really thank them for the invitation to this extraordinary place.

LO MEJOR/THE BEST: la experiencia de cenar en un lugar tan original, la compañía y la pécora! / the chance to have dinner in such an amazing place, the company and the pecora!

LO PEOR/THE WORST: me quedé con las ganas de haberla visitado también de día / I wish I had visited it also with daylight
