The Enchantment of Christmas in Locorotondo: The White Pearl of Lights

Among the most charming villages of Puglia, Locorotondo truly shines during Christmas and the holiday season. With its lime-washed cummerse houses and its characteristic circular shape, this jewel of the Itria Valley transforms into a fairytale setting, attracting visitors from near and far. At Christmas, its already incredible charm is elevated by a breathtaking light installation that has made the village famous throughout Italy.

Far from the hustle and bustle of big cities, Christmas in Locorotondo is experienced in an intimate and magical atmosphere. Unlike the baroque and lavish displays typical of Salento, here the decorations are a masterpiece of elegance and minimalism.Thousands of small white lights light up in a waterfall effect, descending along the pinecone-shaped roofs of the houses and decorating every alleyway. The result is an ethereal village, seemingly floating in a cloud of light, a breathtaking visual experience.

Locorotondo, part of the “White Towns” circuit together with Ostuni and Cisternino, is the perfect starting point for exploring Christmas in Puglia.

Every corner is an opportunity to capture memorable photos and lose yourself in timeless charm.

But the magic of Locorotondo also delights the palate.
