Castro
Castro
Narrow roads weave around the old town centre and it’s a pleasure to stroll around, stopping off for refreshments in one of the bars or restaurants. All roads, it seems, lead to the main square and the panoramic terrazza, from where the views out to sea are superb.
Down below, Castro Marina comes alive in the summer months, with bars, restaurants and cafés opening up along the seafront. The little harbour, usually home only to the town’s small fishing fleet, welcomes impressive yachts and pleasure boats. The rocky shoreline and crystalline waters attract swimmers and sunbathers, and the lidos fill up with holidaymakers from mid-June to mid-September.

PIMAR Stones (Lecce)
PIMAR Stones (Lecce)
Many of the most emblematic buildings in the city of Lecce stand on limestone, very characteristic of Salento area (Puglia). During the visit to one of the companies that was in charge of one of the farms, we were able to learn about the calcareous components that make up limestone, its compactness and special luminosity, while its unique structure is enriched by the presence of fossil fragments. Various types of stone are mined, differing in color, homogeneity, age and composition; in particular we should mention the pale yellow, white and gray types.
This millenary and calcareous stone is a natural resource, skilfully worked by master craftsmen who continue today promoting its creative use in many fields, including the construction industry, street furniture, interior design.
