Salento is a land of mirages, windy;
it’s great, it is full of sweetness;
remains in my memory more as an imaginary journey
than as a real journey.

(Guido Piovene – Italian Journey)

Salento, also known as Salento peninsula and known as the heel of Italy, it is a subregion of Italy that extends over the southern part of Puglia, between the Ionian Sea to the west and the Adriatic Sea to the east. The inhabitants of the area, which includes the entire province of Lecce, almost all of Brindisi and part of Taranto, are distinguished by cultural and language characteristics than the rest of the region. From a historical point of view Salento has been for many centuries the ancient district called Terra d’Otranto.

Contrada Aspri, 72012 – Carovigno (BR)

Over 250 km of coastline, on the one hand it is flat, mostly clay, the other part high and jagged. The entire province of Lecce , with a myriad of towns and villages , made of white houses and narrow streets as local crafts and surrounded by green olive trees and vineyards bordered by the typical dry stone walls. And then a large proportion of the provinces of Taranto and Brindisi (from Ostuni down) with a lot of cities rich in tradition and culture and equally fascinating landscapes of Regione Puglia.
