Washed by two seas, <\/span>Salento <\/b>has a very long coastline with stretches of golden beaches and sheer cliffs. Here the soft rock has created countless <\/span>caves <\/b>that the sea has sculpted, making the reflections in the water a <\/span>magic of nuances<\/b> in the perennial play of light and shadow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us start with…<\/span><\/p>\n

The Grotta della Poesia (The Cave of Poetry)<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

In the <\/span>marina of San Foca<\/b> on the Adriatic side, there is a cave without a roof, becoming a <\/span>natural pool of rare beauty: the famous <\/b>Grotta della Poesia<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Grotta<\/p>\n

The Grotta dei Cervi (Deer Cave)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Located in <\/span>Porto Badisco<\/b>, it is very important archaeological site, so valuable for its rock drawings that it is <\/span>closed to the public<\/b> so as not to ruin the graffiti, fortunately it will soon be possible to <\/span>visit it virtually in 3D<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Descending southwards, we cannot overlook the <\/span>Grotta Romanelli<\/b>, an important evidence of the <\/span>Palaeolithic <\/b>period and its remains.<\/span><\/p>\n
