Travel Guide Santa Maria Di Leuca

Once the road is out of Come, the road in the corniche, which leads to Santa Maria di Leuca, crosses some of the most beautiful rocky landscapes of the Salento and Puglia. Undoubtedly the most authentic, moving and sometimes most solemn panorama of the Salento. You can stop at Marina Guardiola, then at Marina di Novaglie, a beautiful rocky cove which you can reach by leaving the road. A Gagliano del Capo, the site and the panorama are delightful: You drink a drink and you eat a snack at one of the two small restaurants well placed. At Santa Maria di Leuca, we are at the tip of the tip, rather wild, one might even say virgin with other sea edges. The village of Leuca is a seaside resort in the territory of Castrigano del Capo, between Punta Meliso and Punta Ristola. The origins of the site date back to ancient times, since it was cited as messapienne and Roman municipe. From the arrival of., you have to rush directly on the Cape of Santa Maria di Leuca, not far from the village. An atmosphere of the end of the world reigns in this emblematic place which, in summer, sees multiplying the number of its inhabitants. The border between the Ionian and Adriatic Sea is symbolically marked by the great lighthouse. It would take many hours to contemplate this immense route of communication that is the sea… Just a few steps away, in the village, the beautiful th century villas that you can see from a walk on the Lungomare give the site a certain stamp. It was here that the sanctuary of Santa Maria di Leuca was built, says De terrae. It is reported that in this solitary place beaten by the winds, men went to pilgrimage for fear of wandering on these shores after their death. The limestone cliffs of the coast around the cap are home to fascinating caves. Take a boat tour or ask someone on the harbor (it happens) to take you a tour along the coast, even to see more closely the savage beauty of this landscape of caves and rocks at peak.
