A stone's throw from the Byzantine church of San Salvatore there are some adjacent groves, I would say almost intimate, one of which is enclosed by dry stone walls and not very well maintained while the other is very clean with open borders (actually I think they are a single thing divided by the small road passing through them). They seem to want to absorb the noise coming from the car traffic of the nearby highway 101, however succeeding in doing so. Nice to cross them.

The route over this highlight is a great alternative to the SS roads between Sannicola and Gallipoli.

From the SS101 bypass at the height of the U-turn before Gallipoli, you can reach the town of Rivabella by passing through the woods and a narrow dirt road.
