PUGLIA TRAVEL INFORMATION AND TOURISM SUGGESTIONS
The region of Puglia includes Bari, Brindisi, Lecce, Taranto, Foggia, Alberobello and the Tremiti islands and can be neatly split into three general zones.
The flat northern plain accompanying the Gargano, the so called heel of Italy known as Salento, and the central zones of Bari and Brindisi typically identified with the conical trulli houses.
Puglia also has one of Italy's liveliest and most inventive music scenes. If you wonder how combining reggae rhythms and the traditional pizzica dance might sound, then look no further.
The Rupestrian villages and churches are another curiosity as are the megalithic dolmen and menhir.
The region has always been a land of passage and cultural exchange. Much has remained in the gastronomy, language, architecture and festivals of Puglia. Do visit the castles of Puglia, not least the mysterious Castel del Monte.
The white washed trulli get all the press and are the symbol of Puglia, but the many numerous masseria along the coast protected the rural population from frequent attack. Fortunately for us, many are now luxurious holiday homes beside fabulously clean beaches.
