Going for a walk?

Let's meet the Salina dei Monaci, a natural heaven in San Pietro in Bevagna, protected by the natural reserve, populated by pink flamingos, surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and with the ruins of a salt works as a backgoround. Leggi in italiano Last weekend I attended an aikido seminar in the nature of Salento, in Manduria. One of the most pleasant aspect of this particular seminar is the practice on the beach with a bath after the lesson.

February. Apulia. I don’t know about you, but these two words together make me think about just one thing: Carnival . I live in a town where Carnival is a tradition and this period has always been characterized by the choice of the costume to wear during parades. Yet, I must admit that Carnival in Massafra has to compare itself with a giant of Carnival tradition in Apulia: the Carnival of Putignano , the longest in Italy and the oldest in Europe.

Let’s continue our itinerary for those who visit Bari for the first time . In the first part we left off in the old town centre and it’s from here that we start with the second part. 1. SAINT NICHOLAS’

I’ve started to know Bari when I was at the university. Studying tourism, my academic path included experiencing Bari from a tourist point of view. In this way I discovered the major attractions of this town. Since then I’ve walked many times in Bari with friends who actually are from Bari and others who didn’t know the town at all. In the latter case I was their guide and I noticed that I suggest always the same itinerary to those who are in Bari for the first time in order to give them an overview of the town. Most of the time this itinerary is completed in one day . If you are curious to know what I suggest to see to those who are in Bari for the first time, stay with me and let’s get started!

Apulia is a region so versatile in its offer to the visitor that it can be a perfect destination in every season, even winter . I’ve always thought so. Obviously, there are some periods in which it could be difficult to move, for example when some unexpected snowfalls sneak up on you, but they are rare events and the situation is usually solved in a couple of days . I can say that this might be the thing that I love of most of living in a place where winters are mild . So, if you ask me if it’s possible to visit Apulia in winter , definitely I say yes. Obviously, it also depends on what you expect from your visit. So, how can you enjoy Apulia in winter ?

What to see in Massafra in 2 days. Here an itinerary to discover its natural, artistic, historical and traditional beauties. This is a two-day itinerary of Massafra , a little town near Taranto, in Apulia. You can visit Massafra basically whenever you want, thanks to its beautiful weather, but I suggest to prefer spring and late summer, especially for this itinerary. So, if you’re ready, let’s get started! Leggi in italiano 1. THE RAVINE “SAN MARCO” It was also called the “Paradise of Massafra”. It’s a ravine that divides the town in two parts: on one side there’s the historical centre and the castle; on the other side there’s the new part of the town. Sometimes ago I wrote this blog post about the ravine and the rural village that it hosted. Click here to read it.

In 2014 I found out to suffer from celiac disease . Since then many things have changed, especially speaking of travel . I’d never thought about food organization during a travel until that moment.  Fortunately, there are some tools that help people with celiac disease to feel at ease in all situation. In this blog post I talked about the websites that help us in this sense. In this one I want to tell you how I’ve changed my travel habits and how I organize my travel and my luggage to make my gluten free travel more comfortable.
