Puglia is the heel of Italy's boot
- a long peninsular land that extends along the Adriatic
coast until it merges with the Ionian Sea. Apulia’s
sometimes gentle, sometimes rugged landscape yields amazing
grains, olive oils and wines that are sought by gourmands
around the world. And, with some of Italy's most interesting
architecture, from the astounding Trulli structures of
Alberobello to the fearless Norman forts that dot the
region, to the amazing Baroque cathedrals that grace the
piazzas of its oldest cities, Puglia abounds with the
treasures that a traveler craves. |
