| Puglia,
the heel of the Italian boot, is on the Adriatic coast
and features great food and wine, good weather, beautiful
landscapes and magic architecture. The Gargano Promontory
plunges into the sea with renowned tourist resorts such
as Rodi Garganico, Peschici and Vieste, while in the
vast Murge plateau you will find the famous “trulli”
of Alberobello, picturesque white buildings with cone-shaped
roofs, of extremely old origins, and the Castellana
Caves, the largest speleological complex in Italy. The
Puglia countryside offers certainly suggestive views,
bathed in sunshine and dotted with vineyards, almond
and olive trees. This land is also rich in important
historic and artistic Roman, Norman and Angevin testimonies.
In the heart of Salento lies the Baroque equivalent
of Florence, Lecce. The city, an authentic festival
of Baroque and Rococo, offers itself to its visitors,
with its fascinating and unique golden colours, typical
of the rocks of Puglia. |
