Salento, the southernmost stretch in Italy’s heel, is gaining increasing fame for its paradisiacal beaches, secluded coves dotted along its rugged coastline, majestic Baroque churches, the warm hospitality of its people, and a slow-paced lifestyle that many long for.
Adding to its charm is the region’s rich culinary tradition: freshly caught seafood, handmade pasta, sun-ripened vegetables, superb local wines, and mouthwatering desserts offer a feast for the senses that is as authentic and unforgettable as it can get.
