THE WELCOME AND WARMTH OF SOUTHERN APULIA, DISCOVERING SALENTINITY
“Salento is the heel of the Italian peninsula. Not everyone knows that it is said that in Salento you weep three times: when you arrive, because it is at the bottom, ‘at the end of the land’; when you leave, because you would no longer like to leave; when you arrive home, and when the scale tells you that good food and hospitality have made you “fuller”, in every sense!
We can testify to that! Actually, we will do even more… We will make you discover it! Or rather, the people we will meet and the experiences we will have will make you discover it: Sandra and Giuseppe, Mattia, Luisa, Tullia and Gino, Emanuele, Ilaria, Enzo, Maria Rosaria, Giovanna, and all the other protagonists of the Story that we will write together during those days”.

IN ADDITION: “the sea, the farms, the olive groves, the red earth and the dry stone walls, the ‘pajare’, the ancient rock settlements, the Lecce Baroque, and the Mediterranean and Eastern influences… We will cross the land of the Messapians and the Romans, the Normans, the Byzantines, and the Salentine Greeks; the lands that witnessed the passage of merchants and knights, warriors and pilgrims, wayfarers, heroes and travellers… for centuries and centuries. “
