アヴェトラーナのおすすめランニングルート

海岸沿いに4kmごと（視界内）に立つ多くの16世紀の監視塔のうちの1つ。

In some parts the sand on the trail is quite thick: if you are travelling with a very heavy bike it might be better to push it.

The Salina dei monaci of Torre Colimena is a small earthly paradise located on the Ionian coast of Salento a few kilometers from Porto Cesareo

One of the many coastal towers in the area. Among the most beautiful and imposing.

The asphalt of the coastal road is in very bad condition in places and you have to keep a close eye on it to avoid ending up in a pothole, but it's still fun, especially because there is almost no traffic, at least in winter. Short sections have been given new asphalt 👍

SALINA MONACI Salina Monaci, part of the Regional Natural Reserves of the Eastern Taranto Coast, was established in 2002 as a protected area, characterized by a salt pan no longer in use, subject to a variation in the water level and formation of extensive salt crusts in the summer season. In 1600, the area was owned by the Benedictine monks of Aversa and later passed to the Imperiali family. In the 19th century and, in particular, after the expulsion of the Bourbons, the Salina came under the control of the State Property Agency. The Salina has survived two reclamation interventions: in 1882, when Avetrana was not included in the drainage program and in the mid-twentieth century, when the intervention was limited due to the scarce economic resources allocated. In 1960 it was separated from the sea with the construction of the Salento coast road, later removed in that stretch with the establishment of the Reserves. The illustrated book "The never-ending story" by Fulvio Filo Schiavoni, a Rotarian friend, tells the story of the place, long disputed, between Manduria and Avetrana.

Today we started the lovely walk through the dunes and had lunch in Torri Colimena, on the way back from the roundabout this route is absolutely no longer recommended, first along a road, then the land is plowed and then no good passable path can be found, we are over climbed stone walls and crossed a ditch over metal pipes to get back on the route and finally went straight through blackberry bushes and over a wall with difficulty and ended up back on the road, didn't try the last part anymore, seemed to be overgrown

The Salina dei Monaci is a nature reserve and protected area located in the province of Taranto near Torre Colimena.
