Discovering Puglia, the heel of the Italian Boot, means experiencing an Italy that is less touristy but just as interesting as the rest of the country, with baroque Lecce and hilltop villages like Ostuni and Otranto. An agricultural land where stone buildings blend into the landscape, like the conical roofs of the trulli scattered in the pastures and these old farms surrounded by olive groves.
