Introdution

Dark and ancestral rites, stirring scents, violent beauty, all opened wide in the sun. And, moreover, the emerald green of the sea, the parched trees beyond the stone walls, wide sea-coasts with olive trees, watched by bold votive spires and gauzy Baroque façades, as precious as laces.

This is Salento: a land languidly settled, quiet and silent, between the Ionian and the Adriatic sea, similar to a hanging garden that, for its rareness, satisfies the restless curiosity of visitors. The geographical identikit is grounded on a few elements: only beaches, sea and plain, that sometimes is desolating, bare and desert, and sometimes, rich, lively and surprisingly luxuriant. Beyond there is the Mediterranean sea.

Salento has always watched, through the sea, towards the coast in front of it. And, in return, it got an influence still winding between the walls of the ancient villages, the architectures and the urbanistic settings, getting into people’s uses, insinuating into idioms and expanding over old traditions, persisting in a taste having an oriental turn of thought in its typical dishes.

If the sky works as projector, the sea acts as a lung for a heritage rich of art, history, folklore, of a humanity with a high spirit of warm hospitality ... where it is not difficult to spend a holiday in human measure.
