Puglia
A bucolic landscape, dotted with bizarre cone-shaped roofs, peaceful whitewashed villages shining in the sun, elegant Baroque towns, centuries-old olive trees that look like sculptures, expanses of vineyards as far as the eye can see and coastlines with dream beaches: this is Puglia guys!
A temple of Italian gastronomy
Puglia is above all a millenary culture developed around the sacred cult of food, which makes its production and preparation a ritual in which a lifestyle is proudly celebrated.
4 things you can’t miss:
- The white villages and the bizarre Trulli
- The precious extra virgin olive oil and the full-bodied red wines ripened in the sun
- The ancient castles and defense fortifications on the sea
- The wonderful sandy beaches of Salento
