Going for a walk?

Today I propose you an small itinerary in Matera . It’s not an itinerary to discover the European Capital of Culture 2019 , but something more modest, relaxed, to be followed in a sunny and not too hot afternoon, like those that we are living here in the South this year. The itinerary is guided by Salvador Dalì exposition hosted in Matera until the 30 th of November. I know, an exposition and an itinerary seem not to be linked together, yet they are. Even though the most of the exposition is inside the complex rock-hewn of Madonna delle Virtù and of San Nicola dei Greci, some colossal works are around town and are the stops of this itinerary around the Sassi of Matera .

In this post  I wrote about my interest in sustainable tourism and how I try to travel in a responsible way as much as possible. So, I’m pleasantly satisfied when I see a destination that acts with respect for the criteria of sustainable tourism to create wealth in the place and for its population and providing high quality services. I have an example right near my hometown, in the middle of Valle d’Itria: the famous Alberobello .

It’s October. In Apulia,  this year autumn is getting shy and is not felt yet but for the fresh breeze that moves the curtains as soon as the sun sets. With this nice weather I barely remember that summer has been over for a while, but maybe some other excursions in nature , typical of summer period for me, could be organized. As for example, the one I made in August to San Fele Falls in Basilicata . I knew about this place by chance, when some friends published on their social profiles some beautiful photos of the falls. Being a lover of woods Lucan, surely I couldn’t make this discovery pass unnoticed and in no time the excursion was organized.
