Puglia: introduction
Puglia: land of sun and sea, of endless countryside scattered with centuries-old olive trees, of baroque cities and white-washed towns, of ancient popular traditions and the mystic Taranta.
From the rocky, forest-covered Gargano to the Tremiti islands and further South still, to Gallipoli and Santa Maria di Leuca, the Puglian coastline is one incredibly long and spectacularly beautiful beach. Inland, surrounded by vineyards and centuries-old olive groves, visitors finds both large and small towns, rich in historical interest, culture and folklore. In addition to the inhabitants strong sense of humour, brilliantly expressed in local traditions such as the carnival of Putignano, Puglia is famous for its stunning baroque and Romanesque cathedrals, its beehive shaped Trulli and imposing fortified farmhouses or, Masseria. A food-lover’s paradise, this part of Southern Italy is also known for its excellent cuisine.
