Bacino Grande restaurant in Torre Lapillo beach

mauro2017-08-06T18:29:32+00:00August 6, 2017|Puglia, Where to eat|0 Comments

A restaurant that I warmly suggest between Torre Lapillo and Porto Cesareo in Salento is without a doubt the Bacino Grande restaurant. I go there now and again, above all at the beginning of the summer before the height of the proper working season begins. Good cuisine and fantastic location. I usually choose fish but you can also order meat or vegetable based dishes, all rigorously typical gastronomical specialities. The hall has a marvellous, and [...]

Recipe for the Pignata Octopus of Puglia

mauro2017-06-26T05:02:07+00:00June 26, 2017|Food & Wine, Puglia|0 Comments

The Pignata Octopus (Purpu a Pignata in local dialect) is a typical recipe in Puglia. The pignata is the terracotta container used for cooking it. Once it was done on the fire, today we have modern cookers and we do it in saucepans. But nothing prohibits you from cooking it old style if you have a terracotta container at home. Here's the recipe. Ingredients 1 Octopus | Cherry tomatoes | Parsley, Celery, Oregano, Extra virgin olive [...]

How to avoid the traffic on the Ionian Salento coastal road in summer

mauro2017-06-12T05:04:53+00:00June 12, 2017|Puglia, Travel tips|0 Comments

Today's question was asked by Guido and it's relative to movements towards the sea in Salento in August: how do I move about? Will I find traffic? Here's my answer, but before I must explain the opening photo. It's a photo I took from my mobile phone while I was going to my sea, yes: it can happen that a flock of sheep interrupts your trip. They are the rhythms of Salento. "hello fabio, I [...]

It gives you a pleasant feeling when the most important newspapers and magazines in the world write that your beach is among the most beautiful ones ... in the world! It had already happened with the beach where I was born in Torre Lapillo, when The Guardian listed it among the 10 most beautiful little-known beaches in the world. Now its the nearby beach of Punta Prosciutto's turn: this time it's The Telegraph that mentioned [...]

An iconic recipe of Salento: Ciceri e Tria

mauro2017-05-01T05:53:34+00:00May 1, 2017|Food & Wine, Puglia|0 Comments

The Salento cuisine from the south of Puglia has very many dishes that recall ancient peasant culinary traditions. One of the most traditional recipies is without doubt Ciceri e tria (fried dough with chickpeas) a real gastronomical must if you find yourselves here in Salento on holiday. Usually, you can eat this dish in the typical inns of the Salento inland. When you are asking for this dish at a restaurant don't ever say fried [...]

The spring beauty of the countryside in Puglia

mauro2017-04-23T13:37:00+00:00April 23, 2017|Puglia, What to do, What to see|0 Comments

I love walking in the open air through the countryside, and here in Salento there are fantastic views to be seen in spring time. So much so that even if finding the time to write is getting harder because of the summer season approaching (which means more work), I still wanted to write this post and let you see images of the countryside. Here is what I saw in the Itria Valley between the towns [...]

Beautiful Salento beaches in Otranto: the Alimini Lakes

mauro2017-04-03T05:43:39+00:00April 3, 2017|Puglia, What to see|3 Comments

There’s a must-see place in Salento where you will find beaches, lakes and forests all together in one place. It's called Alimini Beach or simply ‘Alimini’. It’s a beautiful beach north of Baia dei Turchi in Otranto which I recommended you visit during your holiday in Salento. The Alimini consists of two small lakes close to Otranto and the Adriatic Sea: Alimini Grande to the North and Alimini Piccolo to the South (also known as [...]

I had wanted to go there for a while now and in the end we managed to do so: Cibus Resataurant in Ceglie Messapica. So, after lots of advice from various people and some articles I read on specialised magazines and guides, me and a group of friends decided to go and eat at the Cibus, a restaurant that I can tell you now is an absolute must, 100 per cent guaranteed! It's in the [...]

The history of Porto Cesareo in Puglia

mauro2017-02-20T05:24:17+00:00February 20, 2017|Art & Culture, Puglia|0 Comments

When you go to a place, it's good to see it from all points of view, including the historical one. That's why, in this post, I'm writing a brief history of the seaside town of Porto Cesareo in Puglia where we manage dozens of holiday homes. The history of Porto Cesareo begins at the end of the bronze age. The Messapi were followed by the Romans, then came the pirates and then the bandits. The [...]

A secret thing to see in Lecce: The Roman Theatre

mauro2017-02-06T05:50:33+00:00February 6, 2017|Art & Culture, Puglia, What to see|1 Comment

In the heart of the historic centre of Lecce in Puglia, strolling down its alleys, you may come across some real masterpieces of culture and art. There is a secret place, very big in terms of size albeit invisible, a few steps from the Duomo and from Piazza Sant'Oronzo yet one usually passes by it without seeing it: the Roman Theatre. Why? Because it is hidden amongst the buildings of the Baroque city and to [...]
