Hello to all my friends,
Some time ago, I used this blog, which I've now seen has returned, so I wanted to try this site to write something and share some photos as a memory of my old vacations spent in Puglia. I think I've talked about these vacations before; I'm not sure if I'll return this year because I have several issues with my mother who isn't doing well. But if I do return, I'll definitely share more photos with you.
One place that I absolutely loved was Castro Marina, which is essentially a district of Castro and is located along the famous Salento peninsula in Puglia. It's a place that at times reminded me a bit of Spain but also a bit of Morocco where I had been several years ago.
Most likely, a few years ago it was a lesser-known destination, but lately Puglia has become a very important spot not only for Italian tourism but even for international tourism. I have a friend who owns a local business there and he told me that recently there are many Americans and Arabs choosing this region of Italy.
Anyway, coming back to our topic, this place in Puglia is beautiful because it has a series of beaches with rugged rocks and you can also see many natural caves. As you can see, there is also a castle or rather what remains of the castle, which could also be something to visit. Personally, I haven't visited the castle because I'm not particularly drawn to culture and art; I prefer to enjoy the beach and nearby natural visits.
The downside, in my opinion, is the fact that on the beach you don't find the classic sand which is much more comfortable, especially if you want to lie down, but rather all rugged rocks. So, you need to be well-equipped.
Anyway, I definitely recommend this place. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it won't be a budget-friendly destination like it used to be, because with the increase in popularity among tourists, prices have risen quite a bit. However, my friend mentioned that there is a wide range of accommodation options, so you can still find good deals.
I hope you found this post interesting. It was great to write here again, and I must say that this site, which allows you to publish, is very well-organized and offers many useful tools to write a great post.
Goodbye everyone, see you soon!
