The Puglia/Molise region
Puglia is a food and wine lover’s paradise. A huge proportion of Italy’s fish is caught off the Apulian coast, 70% of the country’s olive oil is produced here and the region provides 80% of Europe’s pasta. Fish and seafood are abundant and better priced than in other parts of Italy and many excellent and inexpensive quality wines are produced here. The south of Italy is a pleasant place to visit at any time. During the summer months temperatures can reach 40˚C plus and you will find all bars and restaurants open well into the early hours of the morning with street markets open until 1.00am. The Puglia region on the heel of Italy is totally unspoilt with some of the best and cleanest beaches in Europe. During June and August the Italians migrate to this area for their holidays. During the rest of the year the area is a quiet, rural community to be enjoyed for its’ natural beauty and easy pace of life.
This part of Italy is the place being universally acclaimed by the likes of Rick Stein and Jamie Oliver for its wonderful food and wine. The Salentine peninsula presents a mainly rough terrain, which has contributed to the maintenance of the uniform character of this land over time. Drenched on the east by the Adriatic Sea which acts as a "border" with nearby Albania and Greece, and to the west by the Ionian Sea, the Salento is an essentially agricultural region, covered with stretches of florid tobacco plantations and immersed in the green of olive groves and vineyards. Though rich in history, art, and antique traditions, it has never known, in the past, strong touristic development. In these last years, however, the number of vacationers and visitors has grown considerably. Some centres, during the summer season, are in fact full of people while others, lesser known, retain a warm, tranquil atmosphere and offer the visitor real contact with nature and a peace almost forgotten. The beauty of the landscapes, the variety of panoramas, an increase in accommodation infrastructures according to qualitative standards, and greater professionalism in the sector, have all expanded the number of visitors in these years.
The Salento is, in any case, in all its parts, in the tranquil and small towns, in the more industrial cities, and in the seaside centres, a continuous stream of suggestive angles, coasts, coves, grottoes hollowed out by marine erosions, and enchanting spots.
Salento: land of sun, sea, and wind. Salento, thirsty red land of sirocco. Salento: land of myth and legend, of festivals religious and profane, of ancient rites that are repeated giving a sense of profoundly rooted tradition. Salento: land of strong workers and patient artisans who transform their work into poetry, reflecting the great soul of the Salentine people. Salento: land of sunny vacations by her splendidly clean and calm sea. Salento where the cuisine has antique perfumes with Eastern and Spanish influences which unite the delicate flavors of homemade sauces that tickle and delight the palate. That which strikes the most while traveling the roads of the Salento is the variety of colours, the intensity of the warm yellow, typical shade of the stone ably and sensitively worked in the arabesque embroidery of Baroque art.
