It is difficult to be bored in the Salento region. Throughout the year, but especially in summer, there are many folk festivals and events with tasting sessions of local specialties and recipes. There are arts and crafts fairs too, and performances of traditional folklore dances, such as the renowned "pizzica pizzica".
For sea lovers Salento offers the unique opportunity of taking a dip in two seas, thanks to the prestigious location of this region that stretches, long and narrow, as the ‘heel’ of the Italian peninsula between the Ionio and the Adriatico Seas. Here, marvelous sandy shores alternating with rocky bays create extraordinary landscapes. | | | | |
