 Many appointments and events enliven the summer Salento
There is the sun and the sea. Music nights, beach parties and festivals, exhibitions and literary events. The countryside dotted with olive groves and vineyards where the grapes grow. There are castles and towers, the treasures of the Baroque, the menhirs, the remains of the past greek and roman, the memory of the Turks, the Normans, the Byzantines. The Cube festival park Gondar in Gallipoli, the now inevitable Notte della Taranta Melpignano that draws 100 thousand people to the sound of pinches.
And 'the sea the delight of those coming in Salento. With enchanted bays, to navigate and find out one by one, taking shelter from the winds that lighten hot days. The watchword is relaxation. |
Tranquility, which in some cases, poorly fits with the hectic pace of the nightlife. It happens, for example, in Gallipoli, where the area of Green Bay has become the heart of the nightlife of southern Apulia. It does not happen, fortunately, in the thousand farms scattered in the countryside, quiet oasis to retreat to after a day at sea and in carrying on after sunset. The night of Salento, in fact, is not only deafening rhythm on the beaches, music is for everyone, for lovers of pinches and jazz, opera, reggae, pop music. It is offered daily and multi-faceted, in every corner of the heel, also made from time to theater, cinema, exhibitions, literary meetings, held throughout the summer in each country, which give tourists the chance to have fun without having to travel tens of kilometers.
And then there are the festivals, reminiscent of ancient culinary customs now contaminated by a vein of consumerism that has changed the soul, but still allow you to get close to a culinary tradition that alone is worth the whole trip. Eating and drinking are watchwords.
