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.

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.

Torre Colimena (Salina dei Monaci) is a seaside hamlet in the municipality of Manduria, not far from Torre Lapillo. It is a protected nature reserve and is a place not affected by mass tourism and for this reason its landscape is almost uncontaminated: a place rich in natural species, such as flamingos and various types of birds. A quiet place, far from crowded and noisy beaches, an oasis of peace. Once you arrive under the tower, turn left until you find the interrupted road, park and continue on foot.

The Salina dei Monaci is a nature reserve located near Torre Colimena. It is a salt lagoon that hosts a rich biodiversity, especially of migratory birds such as pink flamingos. The salt pan owes its name to the Benedictine monks who managed it until 1404, and is separated from the sea by a sand dune and a channel dug into the rock. It is an ideal place for a day at the beach, bird watching and a nice walk.
