I must say a weekend let you only have a walk in the city... Lecce province (also known as ) it聮s pretty rich of places of relevance to be seen! From monuments, history, baroque, lovely food and well known wine, the fabulous 聯rocky聰 Adriatic seaside and the amazing 聯sandy聰 Ionian seaside, the tip of the 聯heel聰 Santa Maria di Leuca (finibus terrae), Otranto with thousand of things to visit (the 800 hundred martyrs cathedral, the 聯punta palascia聰 lighthouse, the colourful bauxite cave 聳artificial lake- and more), Gallipoli for it聮s night life, discos and dancing on to the beach at the moonlight... Believe me, I can carry on for ages! In this time of the year there are folk feasts (known as 聯sagre聰) all over the place (you聮ll enjoy folk music and most of the time fireworks) to celebrate any sort of thing: wine, beer, celery, pork meat, hot peppers... and by the way I would love to invite you all to "sagra del peperoncino piccante" on September the 1th and I聮ll be there! If is there any other or personal question I聮ll be pleased to reply and to help out guiding to your trip in SALENTO, even in private; I can give you my mobile number then.

That I would recommend you is to get a car... transports aren聮t great... it is a shame but take it as an advice! It is not well connected! A car doesn聮t let you waste half day and is the only way to visit 聯unusual places聰!

Please, click on to the link above, zoom in, see the pictures and tell us what you think!

Kind regards to all visitors!

@ nderello -> Thank you for your contribution

I love this site, so, it's a pleasure! Anyway as I mantioned previously an event called "festa del peperoncino" (hot peppers feast, with spicy food, beer, good local wine, local farmers exhibiting their spicy products and local artisans showing their gift ideas, orchestral and folk music and a "eating hottest pepper" competition) I want to invite anyone who'll be able to reach the place, it also worth a short trip around the location to look at the town centre.... It will start from 19.30. For any other advice I'll be pleased to reply! Thanks by now and I'll see you there!
