Considered the gastronomic capital of Salento area with its “stacchiodde” and “strascinati”, it is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in local traditions and charm. The medieval historic center is ramified with narrow streets and white houses that lead to Piazza del Plebiscito with its Clock Tower and the Ducal Castle. Its territory, surrounded by conical trulli and centuries-old olive groves, is populated with karst caves and archaeological areas with remains dating back to the Messapian era. Not to be missed are the suggestive Montevicoli Caves and the San Michele Cave. For sea lovers, the coasts of the Adriatic Sea can be reached in about 20 minutes, while those of the Ionian Sea in 50 minutes.
