      The Otranto bauxite quarry is located in the Salento hinterland, between Otranto and the area around the famous Punta Palascia lighthouse.
      The magical and evocative "Red Lake" is often the destination of excursions to admire the suggestive view of the emerald green lake.
      Bauxite is a mineral from which aluminum is extracted. The Otranto quarry was once an important source of income for the region.
