Puglia


Mappina
Map of Puglia

Puglia is the longest county in Italy: from the boot spur to the heel approximately 320km, pushing out between Adriatic and Ionian sea, from Gargano to Salento. A stretched out form, larger northward, a sort of miniature Italy, with a territory where in a few kilometers morphological and architectural characters variate remarkably. But roads are very good and very pleasant to run.
Go to Puglia and it will conquer you. But possibly go in low season: May and June, September and October are the ideal months: all is cheaper, more comfortable, more flowered, more neat, people may afford to be kind and relaxed and to show entirely their hospitable kind nature.
