Baronial Palace of Tiggiano

Highlight • Historical Site

Posted in Salento Fortifications collection komoot.it/collection/1396951/-salento-fortificazioni - Beautiful garden with adjoining grove usable and protected by the walls that surround them and which belong to the Palace. Excellent point for a refreshment after or during a ride.

Acquaviva Cove

Highlight • Beach

In Marina di Marittima there is the characteristic Acquaviva inlet, so called due to the presence of numerous springs of fresh spring water.
The scenery you admire is almost wild.

Ciolo Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The name Ciolo derives from the Salento word "Giolo" or thieving magpie, this is because the area is rich in nests of this species. The beautiful cove is cut by the homonymous bridge which stands 40 meters high. Over the years the bridge has been a destination for intrepid divers but, given the danger, this practice has recently been banned. You can still enjoy the sea by accessing it from the cove below and, for those who do not want to give up a bit of adventure, dive from the surrounding rocks.

We have come to the end. Short stage, frenetic in some ways, both for the desire to arrive and because we do not yet know if it will be easy to return to Lecce where the train awaits us the next day at 8:20 towards Pescara. So, thanks to the fact that with a short time we would not know …
